Take good photos at the walk through and if the wholesaler gives you an estimate of repairs then shoot the video/pics to the GC to get their opinion of the wholesalers estimate.   

I would add have an unbiased party (maybe another experienced local investor, someone not involved with the sale of the property) do a detail video walk-through and pay them $100 or $120 before submitting an offer.With overextending yourself and leveraging too much, I've decided not to buy anymore and take out more mortgages at 7% rates for now.

Make sure you dig into the podcasts, books, webinars, YouTube videos and finally a local meet-up to network in person locaclly. 

I agree with just about everyone above that the price should be either discussed upfront or in the engagement letter before services began.It's different to know how much they saved you because tax preparation typically isn't a service to save you taxes, you'll want to meet with them during the year for this.

.- I work anywhere from 50-60 hours a week (I work in video production).- I would have roughly 35-40 hours a week available to dedicate to progressing my real estate journey.For me, the big appeal of being an investor in syndication deals is that it is not as time intensive as other real estate ventures, so I can focus more time into progressing my career in video production and growing my income there.
