If you're still interested, take a trip to the site once ground has been broken.The flashy marketing material for a new development is great, but don't put your money at risk for something that's likely to vaporize.

We had to move fast and initially decided to sell it, the relator who was helping us somehow convinced us we should make it a rental property......... and let her be our tenant (insert face palm here) so since we had no real estate experience and we were already moved away, we agreed.

Some of the most expensive and difficult properties in the country (and world) to develop were vaporized into potentially un-developable lots.

I hopped on the roof with the garden hose to defend the property (even though initially it was contained) when suddenly an ember spread to a palm tree (that had been neglected to be trimmed for years) that instantaneously atomized/vaporized into hundreds of embers and spotted fires on several homes.

Having said that, the best course of action is to tell the tenant what day and time the appointment is and explain if she wants to be there for it that's fine, if she can't be there, that is fine too, the workers will be entering her property without her being there.

It could even be impossible....Some inspectors will insist that walls be opened to view wiring/framing/plumbing/etc, floors be jackhammered up to show vapor barrier and rebar spacing.Ask me how I know........

Even though 99% of their initial wealth came from her parents, all assets were commingled so could not isolate any of the funds or assets to make an argument about her being the owner.  

@Brad Herb Costin makes a point about Cost Segregation accelerating depreciation. 

Just bought a property in cabarrus county and turned out the crawl space doesn’t just need a vapor barrier it needs to be incapsulated, with trenches a sump pump and an industrial dehumidifier.

The seller already has given me a good deal on the property due to her being forced to return to NYC for work post-covid (seller is paying $20K out of pocket after overpaying for the property 2 yrs ago, and sellers agent is taking a commission cut to make the deal work).
