Most reports can be delivered in about 4-7 days after inspection takes place and include conference calls immediately afterward to discuss immediate capital needs or any items that may arise during the inspection that would be deemed relevant to the completion of the deal going hard.Property Condition Assessment Inspection Fee TableFees are based on a per door rate as follows,Basic $375.00 per door Includes a visual inspection of foundation, exterior skin, common area, site lighting, life safety systems, roof condition (from ground), interior condition assessment of units up to 75% if accessible.

A test kit invented would be a piece of wood or cardboard left on the side of a structure to sit stagnant with moisture around, and frequent a visual inspection for dirt shelter tubes, termites eat dirt and poop out-spit out to create a sheltered tunnel in which they travel to eat "cellulose" protecting them from humans and sunlight. 

But too, we need to visualize how we look to someone we want to borrow money from. 

And lots of newbies are misled, and the calculator does decidedly nothing to expand your perspective so you can visualize the nuances...Hope this helps!

Here's a quick summary of what you need based on my approach (others may do it differently): Identify a market that you want to wholesale inFind and/or buy a list of high-equity homeownersSend out yellow letters to the list with a phone number that goes to voicemailWait for calls to come into your voicemailReturn the calls, identify motivation, gather intelligence (address, motivation, asking price, etc)For properties that meet your criteria, make an offer using this formula (ARV * 70% - Rehab Costs - Wholesale Fee)Get a signed accepted offerHaving someone on the ground visually inspect the property, negotiate price again if the rehab is greater than you expectEither open escrow and buy the house and then dispose of it a number of ways or find a cash buyer and assign it to them.That's essentially what I'm doing in a nutshell.

There has to be a balance.The visual impact of that roof can be an issue, but that isn't something that pops up overnight, you can observe the condition over time and estimate replacement.  

How many people believe potential buyers can see past an empty space and visualize the potential? 

If you have no leaks, I would focus on using your rehab capital on the visuals in the home for a wow factor.

If someone could help me visualize walking through this process that would be AWESOME! 

Some had open blinds/or no blinds, and hope my visual checks of exterior helped.
