Boots On the Ground

Juliann Morala
Posted

Looking to do my first BRRRR out of state and I am wondering what to have on a checklist if I were to have someone go take a look at a property for me. Would it be best to just have a general contractor to go look at the property?

Thank you guys in advance!

@Juliann Morala

A GC is suitable for estimating rehab costs, but consider hiring a property manager or investor-friendly realtor for unbiased opinions.

Video Walkthrough – Have them record a wide-angle video of the interior and exterior to capture the whole condition.

Floor Plan Mapping – Use an app like MagicPlan to create a detailed floor plan with measurements.

Major Systems Check – Roof, foundation, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical—any red flags?
