Whereas if you have it under contract and the repairs come in higher after inspections, etc, then you can ask the Seller for concessions based on information not disclosed, etc.You will get better at high level estimates with experience, but until then you have to make an educated guess and then firm that up with bids after you have it locked in.

There are plenty more resources you can find under Education from how to's, blogs from our experts and podcasts.
