I'm on the call on my computer during that walkthrough, and the whole thing is recorded using a piece of software called Call Recorder.2) Then I roughly estimate my costs based on what needs to be done in the spreadsheet as well as using the tips from this blog post I wrote: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/8814/72452-how-to-estimate-construction-costs-for-these-29-common-rehab-projects(@J Scott's book on estimating rehab costs is another excellent resource)3) I put all of that into a deal analysis machine to then spit out an offer number.4) I put an offer contingent on due diligence of the above estimate5) Then only once the property is under contract that is when I employ the services of a contractor to come up with the estimate.Hope that helps!
