Avoid any self-help eviction tactics like changing locks.Maintenance: As a landlord, you’re responsible for ensuring the property meets basic health and safety standards, including working plumbing, heating, and electrical systems.Inspections: While there are no mandatory inspections required before renting, your property should comply with building codes.

We work closely with the listing agent to get documentation and we start making aggressive, contingent offers on replacement properties as soon as the inspection contingency closes on the sale. 

And, yes, there are years of data points to validate that just within my office, tens of thousands of dollars of wasted appraisal and inspection fees for deals (mostly not mine, thankfully) that had 0.00% of going anywhere but the "Loan Application Declined" bin. 

(Probably same in attorney state but I have no experience there.)it will make inspection problematic.

Who is inspecting each deal before they offer/buy?

Quote from @Rou Odab: Some of these things would come up on a home inspection, but since we are past that I would do a couple of things.

We also paid for an inspection on the house & 2 appraisal fees.I called Nick to ask questions and he didn’t like the questions I was asking so called my partner and told him I needed to back off or they’d cancel the deal!

They provide fake checklists saying units are repaired according to agreed-upon inspection reports only to walk in to a home that is more damaged than it was during escrow.

While I was running my inspection business, trying to build a real estate business, and taking care of 4 rentals with family, I was also going to night school to get a degree in MIS.

Despite the guru fed “misinformation” about all these under market price deals, they are actually very rare and require (1) the investor recognizing value that the seller and the rest of the market misses or (2) a seller with a need for an immediate sale and a buyer with the CASH immediately available to conclude a very quick closing usually forgoing inspections, financing, and other contingencies.
