There are many more out there, but these are some of the more important items to look for.

PS: Thanks to all above who've pitched in; really liking the conversation here!

.- Has 11 collections: $943 Medical (2011), $284 Medical (2009), $722 Citibank (2009), $1,086 Sprint (2009), $491 Victoria Secret (2010) shows as paid, and another 6 other collections for medical that amounts for $900 (2010)- In the trade section it also shows few other items that were "placed for collections": $45 Sprint (2011), $1,706 shows as closed by creditor grantor (2009), $4,775 Student Loan shows as unpaid balance charge off (2004), $22.1K Student Loan shows as unpaid balance charge off (2009), $1,189 Placed for collection (2010), $1,812 placed for collections (2010).Now, I do not know if this is typical considering the state of the market and economy as I entered the business only a year back, but based on myself and people I know, this seems to be awful!.

Both are more than adequate in condition and function, yet the inspector failed both houses by the tune of 3 full pages of items.

May not need most of the other items but at least you'll have them.You're smart to do the right thing - it will save you headaches and time in the future.

Pretty much all of them started the conversation with, "I might have a buyer" and ended the conversation with, "I'd love to list the house for you."

The landlord shall not recover or take possession of the dwelling unit by action or otherwise, including willful diminution or interruption or causing or permitting the diminution or interruption of any essential item or service required by the rental agreement or this chapter, except: 1.

I also like to ask any professional their opinion of another professional in conversation.

I am certainly not expecting the 10% conversion rate that is often sold but I am curious to see what type of response I get.

You might also find that having more eyes on the project might show that some contractors miss items, and maybe there is one who will catch something that others miss.
