Instead of them performing a general assessment which is cheaper they chose to do an inspection which is more invasive and discovered that the porch needed to be scraped and repainted which was something that was never addressed in their general walkthrough and inspection of the home after the renovations and incurring more costs. 

The offer includes an inspection contingency.

Before any major renovations, conduct a home inspection and termite inspection if needed. 

Very old, so to rebuild with exact materials exceeded the maximum on the original residential policy I had in place with Andover after their inspection. 

@Robert Niessen I have had them come do an inspection and send pictures and ask for a remedy. 

The problem there is that they may inspect and make recommendations that will cost you $$.

Another deal I had an offer only 2k under asking, cash, no inspections or appraisal and lost out to a asking price financed with inspections/ appraisal owner occupied. 

Otherwise, I would check with your local zoning/planning department to confirm that you can add tiny homes to the property and what inspections/septic systems need to be set up.

Another big item of difference between the two products is the FHA inspection. 5% does not require a secondary inspection for the product.

A Mynd employee never actually goes out to your property except to show or inspect it.
