This is my first time buying a home, and I have a home inspector that I will work with to assess what needs to be done.

@Rebecca BelvinSome things you may want to do during escrow/closing:Get the property inspected by a professional inspector.

We did 7 rooms as a "sample" and had each phase of the work inspected by the building inspector - framing, insulation, dry wall, and final c/o.

Yes, you should use an Inspector, who'll give you the lowdown on condition (and hopefully, repair estimates).

when did i have to call the town or county or state inspector Before i am starting to work on it or before i am planing to put in tenants?

After work was complete, the inspector came back through and issued me a certificate of occupancy as a rental property -all up to code!

Any tips on working with Inspectors or general advice would be great.

We knew it was a fixer upper that needed major work but the inspectors found more termite damage than anticipated and even evidence of a previous fire.

Hi Everyone,After several inspections that I did (4 to be accurate), I start to think that my inspector is not professional as I got used to from other states I bought...The report almost has no photos, most of the data is general for all report (such explanation on the issue that is being tested) and complete areas that he doesnt check (for example in case of rodent - he completely stops the inspection in the room/space/area).From old inspections I did, all reports were with plenty of data, pictures (and one unique contractor in Las Vegas even had price assessment!).
