I'm concerned my place won't "pass" an inspection even if the leak doesn't come back because there are streaks on the outside of my unit with evidence of the leaking roof. 

If she fails to return the key at move out, charge her to rekey the locks and take it out of her deposit.If she's leaving the place empty for 6 weeks, I'd find a reason to do an inspection part way through-just give 24 hours' notice.

Deposit of 3k, inspection was like $800, maybe $600 for an appraisal and then brought a little under 8k to the closing table.

Just count on deferred maintenance in all potential properties and inspect accordingly.

It would be better to pay 35-45k for something in decent shape confirmed by a quality home inspection. 

Hello BP I am looking for a recommendation for any contractor or Handyman or Property management that specializes in pre walkthrough property to prepare for rental inspection in Brooklyn Center and made any repair necessary to get it to pass the rental inspection. 

From there I can look up comps online for the ARV and take a 25% discount from that minus repairs ie $200k x.75% = $150k - $25k repairs = $125k Wholesale Price (price buyer would pay)then subtract $5k - $10K for yourself  $115k - $120k is your offerThis allows me to have a solid idea when I look at the house so I just now have to do a condition inspection. 

Hi Josh,  I've had buyers waive an inspection but still get an inspection done for informational purposes only. 

It doesn't really matter what he's hiding in the end though, it matters what the seller is hiding and if you can find it during the inspection.
