They could probably could give you a generic price list so that you could ball park.When you lack photos or the ability to be on site to see it for yourself, then you are entirely reliant on your "boots on the ground" to advise you. 

Will be harder to find lenders who will play ball and financing will be 50 to 150 bps more expensive, but seems like your best move! 

So it’s a great strategy in my book, just takes some blind faith to get the ball rolling.

But I feel like it’s a different ball game when it comes to rental properties and more is at stake.

I don’t like feeling behind the 8 ball if I find a good deal for a fix n flip.

I can see with the right team/TK provider this model could work for people that have money to get the ball rolling.

So my question is what is the absolute first thing I should do to get the ball rolling?

We are already seeing the beginnings of this with DeFi (for loans) and NFTs(for property sales).Could we get a blockchain section so the BP community can stay ahead of the ball on this @Mindy Jensen?

I'm in LA (new to investing), but familiar to Reno and new construction (with a construction family) and ball park $200/ sq.ft. for rehab and $400/ sq.ft. for new construction/ additions.

To get the ball rolling you typically need to sign a contract with seller.
