A standard inspection should cost around $500-600, investor reports should be around half that cost.Make sure you only do inspections on something you’re serious about buying otherwise costs add up real quick.

The house was on a hillside of sorts and this started a cascade of full WDO reports and maps and all kinds of problems.To get out of this appraisal and make it invalid, we had to wait 6 months.

@Andy Mirza I went over the report with the appraiser, the only Comp I questioned was an REO in the same building that sold two  months ago that was badly damaged, water damage in two locations, old carpet, damaged kitchen floors, broken HVAC, nothing new or upgraded and that unit sold for $234,000 as an REO.Is my agent a good one is definitely a good question, After the latest price drop I told her this isn't my primary residence so I don't have the typical emotional attachments some sellers have where they want the highest prices in the neighborhood, Do we have to do these incremental small price drops, I just want what the appraisal/market says it's worth or really close to it so lets get it sold, that's when the discussion about not pricing it at appraisal came in due to the buyers wanting concessions/discounts.I didn't know over 60 days on the MLS was happening in some markets.
