I have seen some grand slams hit by flippers in high end homes, or more accurately above average homes in high end markets, but it is not for the timid.

I work for New Western, we're a large wholesale firm in Houston and that is an incredibly accurate description of the day to day things I hear.I especially like #7 where you mentioned that you should insist on meeting your potential wholesaler at their office- We require investors come to our office first at our firm.

You can also probably find the Fortune Builders rehab cost checklist as well as a myriad of other online sources.Also, if you find a really great deal and are able to accurately estimate rehab costs on it you will also give yourself the opportunity to partner with someone to flip it or flip it yourself.  

Realtor.com is another one that seems pretty current and accurate.

If your goal is to obtain conventional mortgage financing, you could start by obtaining a copy of your credit report ... make sure it's accurate; challenge any inaccuracies to have them removed.

Accurately.

I always perform accurate CMAs, estimate repairs with licensed contractors, and I only ever present properties to you that meet your investment criteria."

What has worked for you on your deals that ended up with a accurate estimate that your buyer would say you have estimated correctly? 

If you have to go so fast you do not have time to do proper due diligence, you need to pass on this.You are gambling a lot with your money.
