Maybe a cop out answer but I'm aggressively supportive of house-hacking in general, so if you're trying to get started and for whatever reason Meriden works for you to house-hack then do your due diligence and get inspections, but otherwise jump in.Feel free to message me with more specific questions & I would be happy to review what you're looking into.

The Local State Department of Public Health inspects.

This company appears to evict, inspect and maybe do some mini repairs to banks.

If he's buying for the long-term (which he should be) then corrections should be inspected and will be mitigated over time. 

I conduct them alone and reject the inspection.  

You should have had it checked and held money back until it was inspected. 

The factoring is with the rental license inspections and license issuance, that they will require persons ONLY use legal "sleeping rooms" (bedrooms) for such use.

Spray-n-Pray (shotty workmanship and major issues covered with a coat of paint) is running rampant these days and we want to spec the work, INspect the work, and decide when the wall is sealed, the ditch filled and the work is complete.  

I am in the process of buying a house for my primary residence.My offer got accepted and we finished inspection and all the negotiation.

You can also look for private money lenders to finance your deals with flexible terms and no inspections or appraisal requirements.
