Hello,

Still new to flipping and seeking some information please for the Canadian market. How does one go about 'appraising' a house? If I find what I believe to be a 'good deal', how can I be sure? Who normally is recommended to appraise...the real estate agent or do you hire external expertise?

Thank you
