I could also add there is often construction in central Houston and it does cause unforseen issues. 

Inspections are typically done by licensed professionals like structural engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors.

@Thomas Farrell if you have any experience managing property/construction projects, I would look in to flipping properties and keeping the once that you see an acceptable cashflow on when finished.

While every project is unique, the basics he highlighted are essential parts of any construction contract.

I found out their repair guy is also their home inspector... so he is checking his own work... it's shady shady shady... run away.  

Does anyone have any good PM or inspectors in Cahokia?

For some background info, I am 22 years old, and I graduated college in May 2024 with my bachelor's in construction management.

I would look at new construction or build to rent but make sure to run the numbers. work with builders who can keep build costs under $200 per sq ft and look for areas where land is less than 10% of after built value.

My name is Chad, I am a renovation construction PM professionally, currently starting a search to find/ invest in some Indianapolis and local area fix and flip projects.

I want to do a seller financed deal that allows me to put less down, but I still have to come out of pocket the rest of the down payment and construction costs so I have a few questions1.
