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

If it’s out of state I’d love to hear more about how you went about getting it inspected, if you built a team, etc.

This was during the buying frenzy in 2021, so people made escalating offers, were in bidders wars, waived appraisals and inspections.

Upon further inspection, I quickly recognized that the times they were allocating for various tasks were grossly overexaggerated.

I hire a pluming company replace a shower drain he quoted me at $560.00 He had down the initial inspection and the never mentioned anything about the shower pan being damaged.Today he came out and said that the that the drain was corroded from all the hard water and was not able to remove the drain, he them send me photos of the shower pan with a whole near the drain and the tools use to try to remove it.

https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/dealing-with-resolutions-...Sometimes, you’ll see a question in the BiggerPockets forums about whether it’s worth doing inspections when you get a property under contract.

Let them know they might get more money by listing with you and selling to a third party, however, the seller should consider the contingencies that enter into it, for example, inspections, appraisals, mortgage approval, etc.  

Getting a 6% instead of a 6.5% doesn't save you squat if you have to bid $30k over asking with an appraisal gap and then replace the roof 6 months after you buy the property because you had to waive the inspection. 

Better inspection of HVAC and plumbing, results would have allowed for better pricing negotiation
