I had to put about 25k of my own money into this first deal between the down payment, agent commission, inspection, closing costs, and holding costs, so I'd like to get as much of that covered as I can on my next deal.

Highest offers with a painful agent after inspection periods is the challenge.

If you would like to schedule a walk-through inspection of the property after move out to assess property condition and any potential damages and cleaning charges, please let us know.

An investor will generally waive appraisal and purchase with an inspection only and close within 2-3 weeks.

Of course we will do all the inspections and due diligence) Th goal is to fix it up a bit and  cash out refinance it.

But then, you have to inspect regularly and become the couch police.

I am losing on offers that are often inspection waived.

Inspection process can take 2-3 weeks.

It has to get cleared and inspected.

Financially, the numbers make sense, but I need to have a proper inspection since this is my first home (and I'm going unrepresented) and the house is built in 1915 with some renovations that were clearly done by the investor selling the property rather than a professional.Question: Although  previous owner has owned the property for 3 years and rented to tenants previously, should I be concerned that the legal zoning is only for SFH?
