The quality of home inspectors varies greatly based on:- ability to identify all relevant issues (no inspector will find 100% if you include minor issues)- correct interpretation of the issue (minimizing/maximizing of the issue)- ability to answer questions in a factual and practical way- quality of the report, easy to read, easy to understand (for the seller, who was not there!!)

We are only 5 days into this new world so its hard to back it with data yet but There has been delays in investors making purchases in our office. they are stalling to see if they can get faster cash than the ol linear stable market of the midwest. meanwile first time homebuyers looking at homes 130-250 are blowing my phone up and im touring 4 to 5 homes a day. today i lost out representing a client against 6 offers on a primary occupant single family tudor in miller, 3 bed at 160k.  

Either it would not be in your favor or it would delay the process and everything that might comes from it.

repairs will be minimal for awhile it has a new roof and new boiler plus everything else will be new, or gone over. 

We have taken a few hopefully temporary steps to minimize losses...reducing prices across all properties by 20%, changed to flexible cancellation (Airbnb is forcing this anyways...), increased weekly and monthly discounts, and we are marketing our properties for monthly stays on Craigslist, Furnished Finder, Facebook, etc.

With minimal to no cost overruns 

I think it will delay "busy season".

Minimal rehab is needed.

Right now it's only at $11 an hour so the impact is still minimal.

I would suggest purchasing a "rental ready" property that needs minimal work.
