I am looking for a house inspector who goes into every tiny details that need attention and uses a good reporting tool to look at the issues.

Great thanks for the detailed reply.

would you mind sending more details on this via dm ?

Hi Steven, thank you so much for the detailed advice :) Podcasts are my absolute priority at the moment.

I'll be wanting to give beta access at some point in the future with more basic features that would still be helpful.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

It's impossible to give a definitive answer on whether you should sell or keep the property without the address and further details but based on the photos alone what I would first suggest is an amenity analysis.

What are the other properties in the area worth and was are common features in them?

Create a simple spreadsheet or written list to compare the features of each and identify the ones that align with your requirements.
