Inspector & 3.

Their insights, experience with rehabbing rentals and flips, and especially the key contacts you will need from home inspectors, insurance agents, lenders, contractors, etc. is invaluable to you as a new out-of-state investor.

Property management, appraiser, inspector, realtor? 

This isn't as vital to get during an initial showing and your inspector should make note of it if you forget it.Plumbing - Check for old galvanized water supply lines - these corrode over time and reduce water pressure.

Yes, the inspector was excellent, as was our loan agent and real estate agent.

I'm reaching out to a home inspector to get an inspection done asap. 

We have a gas boiler from 1993 that our inspector said is on "it's last leg" but then when we had it serviced, the service guy was going on about how well it was performing.

repaied by 9/13 for township re-inspection and not my inspector with previously anticipated closing date 9/14: - furnace repair- *electric repair- *basement smoke detectors replaced- *2nd floor bedroom battery for smoke detectorHowever, the local U&R requirement is just for safe occupancy and certainly not to the standards of this house at the time of sales agreement (house was agreed to over asking, AND above market value locally due to its great condition prior to the flood), and PA Agreement of Sales specifically states ("home must be in condition when it was agreed to").I have had numerous emails/info exchanged with my lawyer now.Any recommendation, pointers, insights?

Inspectors are paid to tell you bad news but that doesn't mean you have to do everything they recommend.

Hi BP Fam,I wanted to share a recent experience with an inspector in PG County MD because in almost 4 years investing I have never run in to a situation like this and I’m hoping others can provide advice or learn from my experience.
