If the house has a septic system, especially if it's an older one, it's worth the investment to have a septic inspection done.This concern is particularly relevant for those planning to buy and hold the property rather than simply fix and sell it.

I’ve gone through purchases, sales, 1031 exchanges, remote inspections, and repairs, all handled smoothly with minimal involvement on my end.

After the home inspection, we opted to cancel escrow and requested our EMD back.

When was your last inspection?

The latter means you can also do an inspection of the home and see how things are.

I would also advise doing your own inspection of the property to make sure that everything that they say is being done is actually completed and to code and that there shouldn't be any surprise maintenance costs at the beginning.  

My goal, over the next five years, is to utilize real estate in lieu of my current hourly consulting income, by building a portfolio of rentals.  

Additionally, in Co-Living the property manager walks the property once per month to deliver toilet paper & cleaning supplies (aka property inspection). 

We manage a bunch of ADU’s and higher density new builds for investors in Raleigh and Durham.

Is there anything specific I should focus on during the due diligence process, particularly regarding title and document inspection, compared to a traditional sale?
