Hello BP,I am looking at a number of distressed properties to potentially purchase and rehab, and am wondering what is the accepted practice for getting bids on the property, as far as what point in the process do you get a contractor out to the site to provide a bid?  

Either their standards are much lower than mine or we are driving in 2 completely different types of areas.Usually, when I am out looking, I'll find two addresses in an hour that fit the bill of a distressed home and, if I'm lucky, one of them will pass the eyeball test when I am putting them through the appraiser's website.What am I doing wrong?

We send out quite a bit of marketing each month for distressed properties. 

I plan on purchasing one or two turnkey properties first and then utilizing the BRRRR strategy on distressed multifamily properties once I gain more experience and I am able to take on more risks.
