Help needed on Inspection Report Issues from Turnkey Provider
Hello
I'm trying to purchase my first rehabbed rental property through Rent to retirement/RTR.
The inspection report came back and there are many issues.
One is required safety issue, A GFCI outlet would not trip when tested.
Other over a dozen recommended fixes:
Electrical:
1.There was exterior wiring visible that was not in conduit
2.A GFCI outlet would not trip when tested
3.The weatherproof covering is missing on the exterior receptacle
4.An outlet box is loose from wall
5.An outlet did not register as being energized with an outlet tester or multimeter.
6.A light fixture has physical damage.
7.A light fixture was inoperative.
8.There was no power detected
Plumbing: There was no discharge tube connected to the tpr valve
Attic, Insulation & Ventilation: They were stained areas in the attic
Doors, Windows & Interior:
1.SEVERAL WOOD WINDOWS APPEAR TO BE PAINTED SHUT
Exterior:
1.An exterior door does not close or latch properly.
2.An exterior door is missing sufficient weatherstripping. This can result in energy loss and moisture intrusion.
3.There was some settling to exterior concrete. It is possible that this could become a tripping hazard.
Roof:
1.No chimney cap was observed
2.The chimney crown has cracks/deterioration. Water can freeze in between cracks in cement and lead to additional deterioration.
Other things:
The attic is full of trash, left over furnitures, the garage floor is full of left over wood chips.
Is it normal to see so many issues on the inspection report of a place just finished renovation?
How should I handle these issues with the turnkey provider? Just reach out to them and let them know? And how can I confirm these issues are addressed after? Do I need to get another inspection report done? And how do I decide which issues need to be addressed, or should they all be addressed before the property is closely? Should I negotiate with the seller to clean the place, and throw out all the trash, I have never seen a place so dirty during a showing before?
