I understand Property Inspectors can be very meticulous and every small item is not a red-flag, however, here are few things that stood out : Water was not on during the inspection.

Distance always makes things a pain for me, so that was the first thing that stood out to my little mind.

If you have truss framing you can (almost) forget it.

One particular property stood out last weekend.

Then we had to replace areas of framing on interior and rebuild the window framing plus repair the aged window, but you might need to consider new window as well based on how many on that wall. then drywall and any other infrastructure that needs to be done on that wall: electric plumbing, etc. that affected wall had plumbing so new code dictated double wall with insulation on outer most wall which added additional cost. termite damage went as high as the roof truss and I needed to replace a beam, but luckily above the bottom beam was the only affected area.

Should be a trussed roof assuming there is a snow load.Really need to see in person to evaluate.

lots of rabbit holes out there and what I call due diligence pump and dump scammers.. prey on mid level developers who have never gotten one of these loans.the borrower falls for the 5 to 20k up front fee to perform so called due diligence and the so called lender never closes.I have seen colleagues of mine blow through 100k looking for CHEAP money when they should have just under stood this kind of money in the Private equity world goes out at 10 to 15% apr period unless you have a local bank that will do it like I do. but even then its one project at a time and uber cautious.. they don't want to go back to the bad ole days were they ended up owning pipe farms.. and they generally will only do these with who they determine are their top tier clients.. you cannot in our market be unknown to the bank.. unless your have that monster balance sheet.but in my mind Socal is ground zero for this kind of money.. 

I had to look up what PITA stood for so I googled "PITA acronym: and this link is what I got:https://www.google.com/search?...

A little background about me, I am 25 - I work in the construction industry ( CAD-Roof Trusses-Wall panels-Floor trusses ) I have made an okay living doing this and my side business is, renovating small apartments or certain parts of homes.

Very interesting how must agents don’t practice what they preach but one man really stood out.
