Offshore developers can be leveraged for certain parts of the SDLC or for certain tasking. 

My practice is to refer buyers to the websites listing qualified (InterNACHI or ASHI here in NM) inspectors and let them contact some to find out what inspections they perform, what special equipment they might use, how much they cost, are 2nd visits after repairs included in the cost and how far out they’re booking.The buyer books the inspections.Licensing is just going live here and so I will ensure buyers are given the opportunity to hire fully licensed inspectors.

While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, the stock market has averaged between 7%-8% returns and I would expect those same overall returns to continue in the future.

When you need the tenant to take action, always include a deadline and a consequence for failing to perform.

Get warranty/guarantee on the work performed.  3. 

This way when the task are completed the contractor can get paid accordingly!

Figure out a standard professional fee for the different tasks that need done and charge those fees. 

Personally I would even waive any termination fee etc because I can see that trying to force this to perform will result in more grief and costs than just moving on will.

I am now in escrow and the new title company which by the way resides in a different county is stating that the publication of seal performed by the law firm that issued the sheriff's deed was done incorrectly.

Again, without the "books" to review, I would be hesitant anything they're saying as far as how the property is performing.
