Look at it this way, if you got a professional home inspector to do it, it would be anywhere from $200 to $400. If the guy comes out and spends an hour, I’d think at least $100 would be appropriate, especially if you make several thousand on the deal!
Why Use A Contractor When You Plan to Flip - Posted by Lynn Johnson

your contract? How do you explain this to contractors/handyman if you simply need them to look at the property and tell you how much it’s going to cost to rehab the property, so that you will be able to inform the rehabber how much it’s going to cost to fixup. Do I get it under contract, and then allow the rehabber’s contractor to look at the property? I simply do not want contractors to get the impression that their wasting their time dealing with me if I’m not going to actually hire them to rehab the properties. What’s the best way to deal with this when flipping properties?
