Does anyone have suggestions for a solid reputable company that conducts home inspections in SD county?

So knowing scope would help narrow down on risk mitigation tactics.I guess at the end of the day, it all comes down to knowing what is needed, order of operations, and having as close to true quotes from reputable contractors in hand.Beyond that, really knowing all that is needed and having those extremely detailed scope of works for each trade before you get your bids.  

You may not even care about that but if it gets out that you are this way, your reputation will be destroyed and it will be really hard to rebuild. 

Hi all, For a rental home, tenant says bathroom floor keep getting wet, even though it is small amount. at first, they thought they dropped some water. after wiping water, however, it keep coming back and now they think there is some water leak. my plumber went to check and found no issue with bath sink. he thinks it must be shower leak. the shower was redone last year by a contractor, who i ended up firing since he did not show up to work later. anyway, i hired water damage restoration (Servpro) company to check how much damage there is now. unfortunately, based on my research, it is very hard to find source of shower leak. i am thinking of rebuilding shower. i hired a kitchen remodel contractor and he gave me two options; either fix shower pan only, or (optionally) rebuild shower as well. 

I like quickbooks because it doesn't require you to pay a monthly subscription and it's got a good reputation.  

But if the manager is at least good enough that they care about their long-term reputation (and also trying to get you to be an investor in future deals)...then this might help.If they are a bad one (or a good one and unable to change), then this is unlikely to make any difference.Remotely you can also do things like doing Google maps drive-bys, etc.

One option is to go to neighborhoods where they are actively building and meet the carpenters, plumbers, hvac, electricians, that are doing the work. 

She then got a message from the tenant yesterday that said: "I know the plumber came but we did not have hot water yesterday and again this morning.

It’s not a profit center for them and they have a reputation to maintain.

Reputation is important (not only in terms of good build quality, because the quality of the houses builders built is heavily depend on the quality of the superintendent they had overseeing the project and the quality of subcontractors they used).
