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). 

So the inspection is pushed back 10-25 days until those items get installed. 

I recommend a full inspection before occupancy, at least one per year, and a full inspection after they move out.

Sec 8 here also inspects the home each year, in addition to your PMs inspections (if you have one).

We made an offer (which was accepted) and ordered a home inspection.

For new builds, get a third party inspection.

It has sat empty for the last 20 years but the current owners have completely gutted it, have bids from contractors they're willing to share, cost estimates etc. and have had lots of inspections done and so much pre-work with the city and county to figure out what they can and can't do, so a solid plan is already in place.

My advice to them is you really need to know construction and walk properties (not just look at videos and photos), know the area, have an unbiased local investor do a walk through (if you can't fly there in person), and how to read inspection reports and get a sewer line scope.

And always set aside reserves for the unexpected.always look at location, schools and is there an area that is gentrifying where we could take advantage of better appreciation Inspections are paramount.
