If you're an investor and have a good relationship with a general contractor why not have them perform the inspection?

The agent is not required to perform investigations on their own.In Maine where I now practice, property disclosures are mandatory and they're quite detailed. 

I think the "rates are so low this money is practically free" aspect of the market right now is pushing a lot of would-be-buyers into the field, even amidst the social distancing moves (interesting in itself).Investors seem to be on pause, tenants are TBD, and retail buyers (and most sellers, but the sellers are nervous nellies) are still hunting, but very unsure on how things will unfold.I know we've heard this idea discussed on the podcast before, but I think the biggest "threat" to performance of rentals across OKC is going to be from the Airbnb sector. 

Hello my fellow BP'ers, Quick question, I purchased two rental properties in November 2019 and I now have an opportunity to buy two more that are performing considerably better than the two I now own. 

Repairing wood siding is not a cheap task as well (especially if you want repaired areas to match rest of house) and will ultimately run the risk of  future repairs.

Multifamily in some metro's has been traded far too long with valuations based on tomorrow's performance.

The grandkids can keep their earnings to do other things.The kids must perform an actual job..... answering the phone, scheduling appointments, if self-managing.. offload some of the PM duties.

He can technically sue you for specific performance, but that’s such a long, expensive process it’s basically not happening.

You can also expect the buyer to sue you for specific performance (court order to complete the sale) along with any damages like alternative housing, storage of his household goods, additional moving costs, etc.Unless there's something you're not telling us, it sounds like the broker did his job and got you an offer you accepted. 

It is always up to the buyer to perform their own inspections.
