Yessir I agree i ended up finding my own inspection person to help walk me thru properties so I can gain knowledge very good investment precision is key I try to be as transparent up front when sending out my contracts to cash buyers with my format also I get pictures on all the properties to show how distressed they are so I don’t waste the investors time or mine I like to help people out and I want both parties to receive what they deserveAnother reason why I need help with building a bigger and consistent cash buyers list so I can see what cash buyers like and what numbers work for them.

But is there a way to assess foundation damage without actually digging up the basement / tearing down my walls? 

Build a wall around it and lock the door.Or make the basement off limits to them completely with a locked door.

I'm asking because I don't want to have the agent think I'm wasting their time with no funding or pre-approval. 

I'm looking for recommendations for general contractors in Or near Parma Ohio for a Rehab.I have Google lists.. but hoping for something more than throwing darts at the wall approach.. any one have good experience with someone they can recommend?

I also don't want to piss him off and him punch holes in the walls, etc (cash for keys option for me?). 

They are not appearing in my organic motivated sellers from my #1 ranking website.Lists are garbage, and anyone still spending money on marketing on anything that has to do with a list is WASTING money!

The concrete block wall would need to be filled and possibly reinforced with rebar.  

I do not want to get halfway through the process and hit a brick wall because I did not do the right thing prior.

My tenant has been dealing with a mess, noise, inconvenience and heating a cold house since the dry wall got pulled out in November.
