Do you share this checklist with your inspector?

It does take about 30 days for section 8 to send out an inspector and approve the unit for move-in but all in all it can be a pretty quick process.

Your acquisition manager should paint a picture of how it will look after you go under-contract, mentioning that you'll need to send an inspector, contractors, and/or partners, and that it usually takes 2 or 3 visits.

Your numbers are simply not worth the paper they're printed on if you really need to rely on a home inspector to tell you about the property's build quality and condition.

Get rid of this tenant via eviction or Cash-for-Keys and hire your own inspector when you visit the property to fully understand its condition and needed repairs!
