Who is Investor Pro for?

Investor Pro is for real estate investors and active flippers who need contractor bid review as a recurring part of their workflow, not a one-off transaction.

  1. 1Active flippers closing three or more deals per year who evaluate multiple contractor bids per project.
  2. 2Buy-and-hold investors who regularly bring in contractors for capital improvements and want a second set of eyes on each bid before committing.
  3. 3Real estate operators managing renovation pipelines across multiple properties or markets.
  4. 4Hard-money borrowers who need a defensible contractor budget as part of their loan documentation.
  5. 5Acquisition teams that want bid review built into the pre-close diligence process on rehab projects.

If you only need one bid reviewed, see the single Bid Defense Memo at $249. For a pre-submission checklist specific to rehab projects, see the house flipper rehab bid checklist.

How does priority turnaround work?

Standard Bid Defense Memos are delivered within 12 hours of a complete submission. Investor Pro subscribers move to the front of the queue. Target turnaround is 6 hours from a complete submission.

A complete submission requires the contractor bid PDF, the project ZIP code, and the contract total. If additional context is needed, we will ask. But a complete first submission gets the fastest result.

For investors evaluating time-sensitive acquisitions or working toward a closing deadline, the 6-hour target is the relevant number.

How can bid review help before closing or funding a rehab?

When a real estate investor uses leverage. A hard-money loan, private capital, or a joint venture. The renovation budget is a key underwriting input. A bid that looks reasonable on its face may have a $30,000–$60,000 problem embedded in it that does not surface until the project is underway.

A Bid Defense Memo submitted before closing gives the investor documentation that the contractor budget was reviewed by a licensed GC. It also gives the lender or capital partner a third-party confirmation of the budget's reasonableness. Or a specific list of items to discuss before funding.

Common scenarios where Investor Pro supports deal flow:

  1. 1Pre-offer due diligence: review one or two preliminary contractor estimates to sanity-check the budget before making an offer.
  2. 2Pre-close review: submit the signed or near-final contractor bid for full forensic review before closing and funding.
  3. 3Lender documentation: provide the Bid Defense Memo to the hard-money lender or capital partner as part of the draw request or loan package.
  4. 4Mid-project re-bid: when a contractor drops out or scope changes, submit a new bid for review before committing to a replacement contractor.

How much does Investor Pro cost?

At up to 5 memos per month, each memo costs $99.80 at the Investor Pro rate, compared to $249 per memo at the single-bid rate.

Unused memos roll over to the following month so they are not lost if you have a lighter deal month.
