6 Family Unit Inspection How Long

[Calvin Lipscomb]

This deal.  I need an inspection of a 6 family unity each Unit being 1600 sq Ft.  How much time should that take.  My inspector is stating that they 5- 6 hours.  The seller is saying that 3 hours should be enough.  I do not see what the problem is and the seller is not even going to be there. This is a deal breaker for me because I believe that 6 hours is a reasonable amount of time for a thorough inspection for such a property.  Also, all the units were not made available to be seen during the initial look.

A lot of landlords do not like bothering their tenants unnecessarily, which is completely understandable.  However, if you have an accepted offer, then an inspection is typically a necessity.  If the vendor does not want an inspection, they should have declined the offer or countered.

You could have your agent muse to the vendor that if they do not wish for an inspection, then you could offer 20-30% less and remove the contingency ;-)
