The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

A renovated older house can pass inspection but once someone is living in it and putting daily stress on the house, there will be repair issues. 

I inspect virtually every property I bid on.

If I was going to Houston, I would skip the mold remediation and inspection companies and just put in the sales contract that the home was flooded (obviously if it’s Houston).

Complete roof inspection of flat, shingle, and metal roof.2.

Almost bought myself a property with a major leak because the seller sent proof with receipts but I dodged a bullet when I conducted my own re-inspection!

Depending on how much more money is needed and x,y,z the insurance carrier may want to send out the adjuster to come and inspect the property.  

For Example, maybe you can add a line to your lease agreement that says, tenant will take care of the lawn upkeep and if it is damaged, they will re sod it at their cost, you could add quarterly inspections 

Also, most states require at least an annual inspection of the facility by the state in order for the company to maintain their liscense.

@Andrew Carlson have you done an inspection since she’s been there?
