Any item can be wholesaled from a house to a T-shirt.

In many situations money spent on a home inspection is made up in tangible action items identified. 

If you could buy item x for $5 and sell for $10 (100% increase) how many times would you need to do that to get to $5k?

It was interesting because there was a piano in the basement and some other random junk, but other then that the house was pretty clean.We decided to place an offer on the spot and I made a point to add that we would be more then happy to take care of any remaining items that the owner didn't want to be burdened with.

Modifying setbacks and compatibility items would really help a lot of sites I look at.  

Rates will vary based on:- Location- Amount insured for- Items Covered- Type of Coverage (ACV vs Repair)- Inclusion of Liability or NotMy most recent policy is about $65/month. 

I will admit that I have my contractor do all of my walk troughs prior to purchase and he does the work to follow - the contractor I use is my father and he charges much more than what others might, but I know it is done correctly.With that said, it is best to have the inspector and contractor separate - two sets of eyes is well worth $300 and the contractor may not see items the inspector does and vice versa.

If I buy a stock with the sole intent to sell it within a month, that doesn't mean it should get taxed as a self employment item.

(ours was, and most costs were reimbursed, after some PITA) *I later heard a flipper tell me their brand new roof on a sold flip leaked during the same storm, and they reimbursed the buyers - so I didn’t feel as bad :-/ *Delayed Xmas Flight I was supposed to fly to Phoenix to visit family the day before Xmas eve, but due to coordinating the final rehab, city inspections, furniture & personal items moving, and tenant re-move-in (touchy subject), I had to arrive on Xmas eve instead.

Agree to what is within reason for you to do and tell him "I'm not prepared to do that" for those items that you chose not to do.
