Getting a wholesale property inspected before putting on contract
I am having a hard time figuring out how to get a wholesale property inspected or repair costs verified by a general contractor before I put it on contract.
1) First difficulty is finding a good contractor to look at it before it's under contract since the good ones I know wants it to be on contract first.
2) The second difficulty is what if someone else puts it under contract while I am still having it looked at? I would be wasting the money I paid to have the contractor look at it.
How have others gotten around this hurdle?
