@Rachel Jane a lot of issues here to consider:1) Does the condo association even allow rentals?

Also know that building a home seldom goes as expected - I have relatives that just built a nicer house… they thought it would take 9 months… it literally took 18-24 months between delays in permitting and the builder just not being able to get it done in a timely manner - often due to sub-contractor issues.  

I don't anticipate any issues, but you never know.

One thing to consider on the credit card option is that a lot of contractors don’t accept them so that could be an issue.

They might only skim an inspection report and trust me to find issues.

We rarely have issues, but it seems like such a small investment in time and money to take one day to verify. 

I even try to unsell them on the business by sharing my financial losses, litigation,  market shifts, permit purgatory, shady contractors,  clouded title issues,  paranormal activity, squatters, mold, etc.

The other non-math issues I'm good handling myself. 

Where another issue arrises is I recently quit my job after becoming pregnant as they would not cover my maternity while overseas, my husband is employed however he works for a UK company and is British so would be unlikely to help us with the situation in the US.

I hope this is a smooth process and I can remove them without any issues.
