A good home Inspector does not do 'Code Compliance' inspections, it's none of their business -  except to maybe just mention it.It's time to see how badly this buyer wants the house IMHO....

I am acquiring an assisted living home (RE+business).RE appraised for $1,320,000Business for $80k.I have the RE portion already financed through banks but am needing $80k for the business to get the deal done.I’m looking for $80k short term loan for at least 6 months so that I have enough time to get a more stabilized business loan.

The general idea is to use Helocs to replicate hard money.

If you were investing  approx 50k in an MTR in the DFW area where would you invest (zip code, cities) and what would you buy (condo/townhouse/SFH)?

@Margaret Dreesen1) You typically cannot use the SD to cover damages while the tenant is still living in the property w/o the tenant's written approval.2) Even if tenant agrees, not a sound business strategy as now you have nothing to cover possible damages when tenant moves out.3) Filing a claim on your own insurance is also business-foolish, as now your claim will track you in the insurance world for about 5-7 years and if you have another claim - may lead to cancellation or spike in premiums.4) Tenant is 100% responsible for the damages!

One thing to consider is the value of the business / Business assets.

I cash out refinanced my primary in 2019 right at the start of lockdowns with the idea of buying a new home and rent my current.

Private money is a proven way to capitalize portfolio growth but creates another business to administer.

Our long term goal is to become a business and own several rental properties.

Personally, I don’t love the idea of selling.
