That is a safety issue.

@Alex Smith - the key is to be patient.  

People confuse liquidity with safety in regards to risk.

This indicates that buyers are taking their time to make decisions, so sellers need to be patient and persistent.

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."

Buying a foreclosure property expect that it is going to need some significant work to get it sellable - so consider it a fix and flip.Not seeing too many short sales today but be patient as they can take a long timeIf you are starting out, it depends on your level of risk as mls I would consider lower risk than foreclosure since you can actually see the property

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.

Balancing safety and practicality is key.

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

Please be patient with me.
