Its not that I can't do these tasks, I've done plenty in my own house and had not problems with inspectors.

You will also need a home inspector.

However, since I am working WITH the city in advance, the city inspector just calls me and that's the end of it.

After this process have a contractor or inspector give you a quick idea of the repairs needed.

Call your local housing authority and talk to the head inspector for subsidized housing.

I believe in doing due diligence on the internet, quickly, securing a contract, and then if you want to get in your car and visit the property, or send out an appraiser or inspector, you can.

Just remind the seller that your inspectors will be coming by, and to let them in.

Is that just a Covering your butt thing that the inspectors do or is it possible that this many homes have termite issues?

Be careful who you select as an inspector.
