Default Inspect home for my daughter

I'm a Wisconsin licensed inspector. My daughter is purchasing a home in Minnesota. Is there any reason I could not inspect her house?

Why Jeff?

Of course if it's South of the Twin cities he should have Jeff inspect it.

If if it's in the East Metro I should do it.

Sooo, It's true, every forum has a comedian. I understand that Wisconsin inspectors are the cream of the crop.

Yes, several communities require separate licenses for Truth in Housing Inspections which is the responsibility of the seller for disclosure to the buyer.

I do not offer this service.

What, me worry?

I drive state wide for inspections... I've done many inspections in the backyards of fellow Nachi members 100+ miles away.

Funny thing though... I don't recall ever doing an inspection in Minneapolis/St. Paul proper city limits. I'm West and North quite often.
