For inspector is I use Michael Cowley with Cowley Home Inspections. 

Hi all, I am about to close on a Freddie Mac owned foreclosure, I am paying cash for a quick close (multiple offer situation) and the property was grossly underpriced from what I gather from the inspection, my question is since it was a homeowner occupied contingency purchase (first 21 days before non-owner-occupied are allowed to bid) how long must I hold the property before I am allowed to lease or sell it?

Hi , Hope that everyone is doing well and staying healthy.For those of you that own rental properties, How often you do a property inspection and how or who do it?

You may be able to get estimate, and home inspection, but any permits are sidelined until local offices are reopened

@Aseebulla Niazi don’t waive the inspections.

This seller might be good but they might not point the phone towards the water mark on the ceiling or such that makes you want to have the roof inspected separately or reveals a plumbing issue you want repaired.Many trades are still working especially on vacant properties during covid-19Finally, follow David Greene's advice from a recent podcast where they are writing contingencies to allow for appraisal's and extra closing time depending on what future measures might restrict key points in your closing process.

Now with that being said, we are going to write in to our contract that we have 15 business days to check title, mortgage, inspect, etc and any issues that arise could be grounds to cancel the contract.

Be careful with being new to real estate, appraisals, inspections and most of our escrow was delayed due to Covid-19.

Background/credit check, income verification, talk to their last two landlords, talk to their boss, move-in inspection, security deposit, etc!

However the appraiser is stating it must be fixed before closing, and he will charge me an additional $200 to come inspect it after it is fixed.
