The sellers still had some work to do on the home so that's why we built in some extra time for that and then all my inspections, etc.Around the first week of December, after the sellers were done with the rehab, the first appraiser came out and that was the first road bump.It took about another week to get a second appraiser to view the home, and then a few more days to get his report.

Hello,   I really like ClearVUE Home Inspection.

One of the properties has tenants that are "high risk" and can not leave the house for an inspection to be performed.

The current owners had an inspection done and showed many problems, including sub-grade shifting, cracked walls and ceilings, negative grading, and several other issues stemming from these. 

I would assume anything requiring a permit or inspection at the city would need to be done by licensed contractors

I'm down here on the coast, I was able to get home and WDIR inspections done last week.  

. $5,000 over asking, no inspection requests for individual items below $2,000 (a no-nit-picking clause), and the lender agreed he could close in 22 days.

They're still inspecting large commercial "essential" projects though. #2 contractors are having a tough time convincing their workers and subs to show up.Personally as a plumbing and heating contractor I want to limit my exposure to absolute emergencies only for existing customers.

Valuation applications are better than they were in the past, but don't take them as gospel and 100% accurate.I've seen online appraisals vary by almost 10-20% (think Zestimate) for the same property, whereas physical appraisals tend to group closer together.I think valuing properties is still done best by the old-school method of physically inspecting a property and the neighborhood it is in to generate a value for it.
