While algorithms can analyze data at scale, real estate isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nuances and the most important component of real estate is understanding its value, and that to me (maybe I am old school) but can only be done by physically visiting and walking the property.So for me, factors like local market conditions, property inspections, and borrower credibility can’t be fully captured in a formula.

Inspect what you expect.

It sounds like @Ricardo Polanco is following the rules and just needs to let the OSE officers in for inspection.

Just ensure to complete necessary due diligence - this can include, but is not limited to, title search, property inspection, appraisal and/or survey. 

No building inspections or permits exist out there.

We work closely with the listing agent to get documentation and we start making aggressive, contingent offers on replacement properties as soon as the inspection contingency closes on the sale. 

Hi Steven,It sounds like you and your wife, Renee, have a wealth of experience in the real estate and construction fields, which is a great foundation for starting your real estate investing business.Given your background in residential remodeling and home inspections, and Renee's experience as a real estate agent, you're off to a strong start.

Quote from @Rou Odab: Some of these things would come up on a home inspection, but since we are past that I would do a couple of things.

When it was time for inspections, they told me, I can’t do that and the area is not deemed for multi family- which is a lie because both houses on either side of mine were duplex.

City has to inspect if I'm not mistaken to determine if threshold is met to where it is a tear down or rehabable.
