Inspection rep facetimed me saying hey this is a mess, inspection should NOT have been today, there's leaks everywhere, nothing is ready, etc.  .....I had to pay for the 2nd Inspection2) New build wasn't supposed to have tenants, on the day of 2nd inspection 2 weeks ago, again I get a call from the Inspection rep that there were people living on both sides.

Hello fellow homebuyers,I recently made an offer on a house with an inspection contingency covering the roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, backyard fencing, and pest infestation.

@Matthew Paul I’d not be able to estimate that until inspection, because the property is tenants occupied.

Lastly, make sure you are meticulous when doing your Due Diligence a lot of investors bought properties to flip at the end of the hot COVID market but now those homes are sitting on the market or were forced to rent them.

Always get professional inspections and understand the local market.

Do another walk through with your agent after the inspection and double checking it all. 

Hey Jeff, this definitely looks like something worth inspecting as a 2.5x is quite large.
