@Monica James Welcome to Bigger Pockets. 

Even if they could save 5-10% on that $800 bid, which is $40-$80, if it took more than 1-2 hours they'd be losing money doing it because their time is worth at least $40/hour.In our opinion, it really depends on the level of urgency and the size of the bid.The more urgency, like no hot water, the less time the PMC has to get multiple bids.The bigger the bid, the more likely it is an owner should expect multiple bids.An owner has to be realistic, understand and accept these limitations.

I have been on New Western's deal list as well as another bigger local company and everytime I underwrite these deals there is very very minimal left on the bone let alone contingency funds for going over budget on the flip...

These things affect the property’s condition and your relationships with other tenants, which could lead to bigger issues down the line.
