You won't get to inspect the property before buying it.

We walked away from a new build last fall because we could already see issues and the sellers ended up getting us a pre-inspection report that said there were serious issues with drainage and foundation.

You need to set a deadline for them to correct the issue, then follow up with an inspection or other method to confirm compliance.

Would love to hear how much these inspections are costing and who people are using.

There are not a lot that will do it without an appraisal or BPO Kiavi does a virtual inspection.

Yes, the bi-yearly nit picky inspections can drive me crazy, (torn screen , etc) but in the long run it’s worth it.

Rebuilding will take time especially as critical infrastructure was lost, but they will rebuild. hopefully the authorities do what they can to expedite the rebuilding (ie issuing building permits, inspections, etc). 

You can try to make it part of the inspection amendment, that's the last time you have some negotiation power.

Hi BP, i’m curious if anyone has moved an electrical meter without upgrading service. i recently upgraded a meter and was forced to move it to a new location however now i can’t pass inspection because the service enters the building before the meter (only good route to get to new meter was indoors) i really want to avoid a new electrical drophas anyone found a way to enter the building before metering?

When my places with section 8 tenants are inspected yearly the inspectors just want to be sure that the paint isn’t flaking and thereby causing a situation that a small child may ingest the paint chips.
