If your intent is to go ahead with the purchase how do you get around the inspection fee...another words do investors as a regular practice PAY an inspector to inspect the property even though its not really yours yet ...and may never be??

HUD inspectors can be a hard sometimes.

However, the inspectors are a huge pain in the neck.

Need an inspector for Cleveland, OH.

(Approach - 2) - He says that if he is asked to pull permits, he is not responsible for any additional work that the inspector may throw (basically more money out of my pocket on the rehab costs).

This includes PM's, inspectors, lenders, GC's, and all the subcontractors you need (electricians, HVAC, plumbing, etc.)Would love to connect and talk more about investing in Cincinnati.

Are you going to fly out to view the property you buy or trust your agent and inspector have them video record a tour?

Hi folks, this has been all over the news and social media so I hope it's not a surprise to anyone but I just wanted to cover all the bases.Due to legislation spearheaded by the RI attorney general earlier this year, there is a new RI rental registry in place that requires all rental unit owners (even short term rentals) to register every rental property and rental unit in the state of RI, by October 1, 2024.The website is www.rentalregistry.ri.gov and you will also need to upload a current lead certificate ("Certificate of Lead Conformance") for each rental unit.The demand is so high that lead inspectors are currently booked out into November and December, so I hope you already have lead paint certs for all your units.

I knew there was water in the basement and the inspector recommended I get someone specific to look at it.

In this business you will work with other great agents, lenders, title reps, home inspectors, and finding great people in these professions is always a rewarding feeling.
