Bidding an Out of State Rehab

[Christian Hanus]

Hello Bigger Pockets community,

This has probably been answered a number of times but I'm just having trouble finding out the right way to word this to search in the forum history.

When investing in an out of state rehab at what point do you get a general contractors to bid the rehab? Is is something you'd do after getting it under contract or when the deal is on the market still? I would hope that I can get them to bid a deal prior to getting under contact without having to go out there personally.

Thanks in advance.
