I also make it clear we will record inspections with pictures or video.I don't address hoarding specifically.

You see a lot of terminations after home inspections because they are terrified about repairs and basically expect an almost perfect inspection report (on a 60-100 year old home..), easily get cold feet, battle financing issues or sometimes just ghost you at closing.Selling a home to a tenant is probably the better path (lease option), but you really have to work with them every month and coach them to get them ready to buy the home, otherwise, 70% will not execute. 

You'll likely have inspection related repairs every year.

In response, I had a plumber and a water restoration company come to assess the situation.The restoration company cut into the drywall, and the plumber thoroughly inspected all the pipes, performed a leak test, and conducted a pressure test.

Not every state or city mandates that any landlord has to accept Section 8, because the landlord has to not only subject their property to Section 8 inspections, rules and regulations, they also often have to separately arrange for the tenant to pay the non-covered part of the rent and can face difficulty evicting just based on that.

Lauderdale, FL• North Palm Beach, FL• Plantation, FL• Pompano Beach, FLThese acquisitions were done creatively, assuming the existing loans via subject-to deals without inspections.

Yes, since the property was under contract before you backed out due to inspection results, the inspection fee can typically be treated as a capital loss.

I'd also recommend joining a local Indianapolis based REIA asap. the REIA will provide a group of investors who could get you some contractor recommends if you decide to GC the prop yourself.You said it "needs a little work done" but budgeted $50k so those two things kind of contradict unless the home is a larger home...just curious, what's "a little work", if you haven't had an inspection yet and don't feel comfortable evaluating the costs on your own?

I don't want to waste your money on inspection, option money, and appraisal money, just to find out the house doesn't qualify for FHA, so I do my best to keep you out of those situations. 

I've heard there can be challenges with inspections and paperwork delays, so I want to get a better sense of what to expect and how to navigate those potential hurdles.
