Hello BP family! my wholesale journey is going great here in Memphis. I'm getting calls and responses but I need help in estimating repairs and what damages to look for when doing a walk-through. Is there a guide here on the site for that?

Russhell,

Great to be in action! When you are first starting out it would be good to have a local contractor---or two---walk through with you and give you an estimate. I like to have more than one estimate just to be sure I'm not getting gouged.

Maybe your investors that you are turning your deals over to has a contractor they like to work with. I have a great wholesaler that does my walk throughs, repair list and initial pictures. If it looks good enough then we have a contractor go and confirm the repairs.

Reading those books Haider mentioned will be very helpful. But sometimes go getters like you need to learn while running---you can read when others are sleeping :-)

I love to help if you get stuck.

Best of success!
