Who's First Inspector Or Handyman ?
Hi everybody,
I have checked around a half dozen upper-fixer porperties. I would like to put an estimate for the rehab costs, so i can give an offer price.
My question is what would be the steps to follow, to make sure that you aquire the right properties.
* Should I first hire an inspetion guy to check on the structure of the house?
*Or should I first hire a contractor to give me an estimate ?
* My other question is how would the handyman feel, if he knows that he's there only to give an estimate?
how id prolly do it:
you could always write something up quickly, an agreement/contract with the handyman, that the estimate is needed of work he will be performing on the home is contingent on your approval, comparing that estimate to any other financial decisions to effecting thereof.
Handyman- to do work on house depending on the result and specific estimate agreement.
Contingent on: your approval or disapproval of any reason
The handyman should not know that he's only there for an estimate, and I assume if he gave you a good price you would use him right? If the answer is no, who would you use for fixup? Have them do the inspection.
