Hello,We just finished remodeling a house in the twin cities and we have an inspection to rent it.The inspector said that we were not supposed to change the vanity and the outlet by ourselves.

No one is in a hurry to do anything around here, keeping employees in this field is a joke, and it just flows downhill like that through subs, suppliers, inspectors and the like.

Hiring inspectors to go in after the cleaners to ensure everything is ready for the guest to check in, being available 24/7/365, and sooo much more!

Side tip, if you decide to close without using a agent (not usually a good idea in a new market) then you need to 100% get an inspection (using your own inspector, not the listing agents) and be there during the inspection, title insurance (as always), and have a pre-existing relationship with a property manager.

"The agent assured me..." or "the property manager thought" or "the inspector missed" are all famous last words. 

The selling agent and home inspector tells me it's common and he sees it in 50% home he inspect(central Florida).Questions I have are,1. 

The inspector will have a clause saying he's not responsible either.

I suspect they have a procedure to deal with this and it may actually involve having their inspector just go to the office to inspect files and determine that info themselves. 

#1 a PMC#2 an agent that knows rentals and will work together with the PMC#3 the best inspector you can find!

Then I work out an estimated rest of life (the building inspector did this as part of his report) and then I put in an estimated replacement cost.
