I've had three buyers who walked after the inspection.  

So the city does an inspection to make sure there are no violations and everything is up to code.

After inspection, I was less excited about the property and didn't care whether I bought it or not...

Most contractors will tell you that you don't need to get an inspection.  

It certainly would be worth  spending yur money if you could not agree to have him pay for the cleaning.Once the apartment is cleaned and repaired I would tell him that he must have a cleaning service in on a regular basis with you or your PM inspecting it on a regular basis.This tenant does not know how to clean and will never learn without the help of a cleaning service.  

What about inspections during the rehab?

In 2009 it was determined to be occupied.Commercial Inspections.

TJ,Often we would want to do a home inspection and when the report is generated with the estimate, typically we would request a credit off the price for those future repairs.

More paperwork but as I mentioned, as long as the purchase price + renovation funds are lower than the ARV they will give you the money to fix just about anything.To your point about inspections, as you long as you put the repair cost for the freeze damage in your scope of work the bank will sign off.Andre

You definitely want to make sure that gets inspected before you even consider it.
