First Inspection I have ever said forget it, I’m leaving, couldn’t turn on the water because the main water pipe was cut off flush with the walkway, service ground missing, just to name a couple issues, (some) of the pictures tell a pretty good story.
Guy was in the back yard.
Main water line cut off flush with the walkway.
Ground Missing–:twisted:
A/C’s had issues—:shock:
Evaporative Coolers had issues—
All the range hood were torn from the walls.
Tub-Showers had issues—:shock:
ALL windows had issues–:twisted:
Sinks had some problems as well—:shock:
Kitchen had some problems—:twisted:
And I could go on and on, but I need a drink—

Why would someone even want an inspection on that?
Actually, the report might be pretty easy. For every system or room:
Here’s my $775 invoice, thank you.

I really do not see a problem was it a union man in the yard?

Let me get this straight.
This was an Inspection or were you hired to give estimates as a GC.?

It always amazes me when someone orders a inspection on a property like that.

Dale,
I hate to say it, but this is looking more like HI’s in Ohio.
2 days ago, I inspected a home in Columbus, and it was 1 of 3 home that WAS NOT boarded up on the entire block. Tell Brian to get a hair cut. :mrgreen:

I have found that there are many, young and inexperianced, “investors” believe that for very little money, they can “flip” these properties.
I try to talk them out of it.
But, many buy anyway.
Sad.

Aww, Duff, you’ve been spoiled by the easy $ & comm’l last few years.
Head out with BK, he’ll take you to a couple sleaze joints & treat you to some kiltlifters, then you’ll be a real HI again.
Seriously, we’ve been seeing a lot of “stripped” properties lately. One I had scheduled for a week ago is taking 2 weeks to bring it up to “inspectable” levels. Of course, if they are REO, nobody wants to kick in the $ to get water & gas etc on . .
