Especially when there is constant construction of huge luxury apartment buildings.

In Charleston SC even where we were building new construction 500 to 2 million dollar homes and the 500s are in transition areas going from historic rough and tumble to wealthy millennials that are smart and want to own instead of rent..

Ask your local code inspector if you can use Rockwool, it's a huge time saver if you can.If you're building new walls, expect to have to order your lumber a bit long and scribe each one of them. 

Yet, when your in a different State and trying to sell your home, and you must rely on the contract that you have made with a Realtor you have spoken to on the phone and a home inspector, your choices seem limited.

They want to see signed leases with all the details confirmed and locked in while our construction process will likely take at least 18 months...

All you need in a good home inspector and contractor to walk the property with you.

I said I still would like to get an inspector in, but he doesn't want to as he's closer to the person selling and fears that adding complexity to the deal would make the seller back out. 

My inspector did not inspect the other 7 units in the condominium community. 

Again I agreed to proceed.During the inspection a local inspector was present, and a Zillow representative. 

I enjoy working as an agent as it makes me a better investor and it is very gratifying to share knowledge..New construction is a different animal and it is a LOT of work and much more red tape than I thought.
