I am lucky that the DOR representative asked more questions and stopped me from paying or I would have had a mess on my hands come tax time.

I'm sure other plumbers will also tell me it's a big costly problem (I'm getting bids tomorrow), so my problem is not specifically with him giving me a high quote, it's the fact that I have a house with a lot more repairs on my hands than what I was led to believe and I think the plumber who did the inspection and overpromised should have to pay for his time, not me.Does anyone have any advice on what course of action I should take?

She either qualifies or she doesn't, you offer her housing if she does, and move on to the next applicant is she declines or is not qualified.Commute times and other ancillary details like that are not really your concern (though commuters are not a protected class, so I suppose you could legally make commute time a screening requirement if you were so inclined).
