Working with contractors

[Leonard Fuaau]

Good morning BP family,

I am new to the real estate investing world and I have a few questions.  I am meeting a realtor at a property in the Puyallup, Wa to take a look at a potential deal.  My questions are as follows:

1. should I have a contractor there to run estimates or does that come at a later date?

2. if I have a contractor there, what questions do I need to expect from the contractor and what questions do I need to ask the contractor?

thank you reading and have a good day.

Until you have done a few deals and established a relationship with your contractor they will probably not want to bid or walk through houses unless you already own them or at least have them under contract. I'd recommend getting a deal under contract and then getting estimates during the inspection period.
