Then my contractor followed by an inspector.

The inspector basically told us this but we didnt listen, now I have been trying to sell my house for 7 months or so.

Inspectors are not perfect so they could miss things.

Yet they act like it is a private club of just friends and family.To be more to the point...Some are in a service role providing something to the public (RE agent, book seller, mortgage broker, home inspector, REO portfolio bird dog, what ever).

Note that termites are usually found by a pest control person, not the general inspector.

It allowed me to concentrate on those jobs instead of also trying to schedule to meet buyers/inspectors/appraisers etc.I do plan on transitioning more as things progress, I would like to have 2 or more projects at once where I could have crews doing a majority of the work with me just pitching in where needed, managing the schedules, and finding more deals.....

The right to show the property to third parties (inspectors, tenants, buyers) while you have it under contract is one example.John Corey

Or several someones such as a home inspector, pest control person, mold inspector, radon inspector, etc.

The list can be produced by the home inspector as it will be the same items the inspector writes up normally.John Corey

Chances are if someone is buying this rehab there inspector will find this, most people will insist this be fixed before they'll buy it and getting someone to fix a now chemical and sewage disaster it will cost double plus you may do finish work over the access point for the plumbing and that will have to be re fixed on top of a mess in your finished house.
