Wholesalers is it a good idea to take a Contractor when seeing houses?
I am trying to close a deal right now and the seller wants 10k more than my number. I was thinking of hiring a contractor for $50 just so that I can have him help me get the actual cost of repairs on the house. Wholesalers do you think this is a great way to get the deal or should i got there by myself and try to negotiate?

Depends on if your contractor is okay with it. Most of them don't like doing that unless they are actually going to work on the house. $50.00 for most of them won't cover their gas/time. You want to make sure that you've got a good enough deal where you can actually close it. Some more specifics on the property and we could help you more. Like ARV, cost of repairs, and their asking price.
