I restored a home that sat under 4 feet of water for 2 weeks.  

As mentioned above, the builder is just going to complete any necessary corrective work as part of their pre-close punchlist.Here is an exact quote from one of my builders (49-unit townhome project) from a couple of weeks ago on the topic of third-party inspections:"•We will solve items that fall under the category of our Fit and Finish Warranty or any life-safety issues •Cosmetic or "recommended" items from the inspector may not be considered and are subject to Builder review and discretion."

That's a nice ROI for 3 weeks worth of work.

(This is already a bit ironic, because my full-time job, 50+ hours and 5-6 days a week is shopping for rates and products, so I am pretty good at it). 

Our agent sends out pocket listing emails on a weekly basis with great investment properties our clients are looking to sell.

As you know, material, labor, and supplies for roofing can change a lot within a matter of weeks / months. 

Real Estate News in BriefWhat a week!

A tenant of mine is refusing contractor to come in for major repair, although I notified her a week in advance.

We have been much more heavy handed with a few folks who I think were being totally ridiculous, but if it is still going on this week, we may be missing a few. 

MikeI would be surprised to find a lake house on a legal septic system, most likely the house has a holding tank that needs to be pumped every few weeks depending on usage.
