Hey there,
Recommend working with an agent who is proficient in rehabbing properties and can walk the property for you or send a virtual tour. They can then get verbal estimates from their preferred contractors based on those virtual tours.

Hey there,
Working with agents who are also investors and have experience in rehabbing properties could make things much easier. They can provide virtual tours, get you verbal estimates from preferred contractors and act as your project manager at no cost at all!
