I've purchased homes as investment properties in the past and have come to realize that in most scenarios I found the home myself, hired my own inspectors and that the agent was simply there to negotiate on my behalf with the other agent.

If worst case scenario is that you can still make profit, I would take pics of everything, print them out, go to the city early, before the inspectors leave.

I am looking for recommendations from you for a home inspector in the Memphis region.

I have become very good friends w my inspector so what I do is on the day of inspection I stop by in the end of inspection when my inspector is wrapping up.

I would like to hear how some of you investors do your due diligence with the following: When do you call an inspector to give you a report of what needs to be repaired and what does not meet the codes/regulations?

I am a certified home inspector for a living so I know the ins and outs of houses, materials, ages of equipment, ect.

It looks like your first post got removed, did that have a home inspector reference?

Have you ever had to go after a home inspector?

Besides the fraudulant shenanigans they pulled, Their work was horrible not even 6 months after they installed the " NEW ROOF" the hallway was leaking and theres black mold, my living room ceiling is caving in, there is a broken main beam, and I had the city inspector that passed it to come back out and tell me what was wrong with my roof .

The Inspector told us about the missing stove knob and door that was uneven; BUT what he did not do was actually go under the house and see all the wood rot from the bathroom subfloor that created the cracked tile above.
