People confuse liquidity with safety in regards to risk.

As mentioned above, the builder is just going to complete any necessary corrective work as part of their pre-close punchlist.Here is an exact quote from one of my builders (49-unit townhome project) from a couple of weeks ago on the topic of third-party inspections:"•We will solve items that fall under the category of our Fit and Finish Warranty or any life-safety issues •Cosmetic or "recommended" items from the inspector may not be considered and are subject to Builder review and discretion."

If there are any concerns with the property that are suspected to be causing a safety issue or potential damage to the property you can enter without notice.

Before people get in my DMs or up in arms about how important interest rates are please take a moment to read in its entirety to understand what I mean.As a mortgage broker and banker, I often hear that a client of mine is "shopping" interest rates. 

Balancing safety and practicality is key.

You could be below market to the "average" unit in the zip code but if you're in the glide path of the airport with jets are taking off every 5 minutes, the Taco Bell parking lot lights shine right in the windows, freeway exit is two houses away, a busy fire station is nearby with sirens all night long, etc then the price may still be too high.Are there any safety issues that could be helped with lights, cameras, etc?

With ab1482, we do not do rehabs beyond health and safety.  

If it tends to be for a pretty set time frame it may be more of a tutoring/teaching type of situation.I tend to stay out of my tenants' business unless it involves safety of the neighbors or some kind of major crime, so yes, drug dealing would fall into that but most lower level dealers will have more than 1 customer and many high level ones who might only have one visitor are not as likely to have them daily.

Just got done reading the entire thread, so what is the conclusion who are the reputable lenders with a closing track history that can be verified that lend 100% without charging an arm and a leg to good qualifiers with good credit and income?

When I confronted them, they defended their quote, stating that they go off the industry standard and a portion of the labor time is for "testing the system after repairs to ensure safety."
