Make rehab plan AND home inspection at the same time because many general contractors are also home inspectors.

[Josiah Halverson]

I learned something today and thought I'd share. Many of you will know this already so maybe those people can shed additional light.

Many home inspectors are also general contractors. I like this idea because as an inexperienced rehabber, I feel better to know that before purchasing a home to rehab, I should be able to get a home inspection done the same time I walk through the home to create a improvement plan. This is good for two reasons.

1. the home is thoroughly inspected before I buy it

2. I can get an accurate cost breakdown for the rehab which will help determine a more accurate max offer amount.

Thoughts?
