Real Estate Investor Home Inspections

Honest Real Estate Investor Home Inspections By A Master Inspector Who Speaks Your Language.

Since 2003, I’ve specialized in real estate investor home inspections and worked closely with hundreds of professional investors locally, nationally, and abroad.

What’s the most important thing I’ve learned?

There’s not just one, there’s two:

1. Relationships matter
2. Trust is everything

It’s all fine and good that I have a background in finance and can speak to you in terms of ROI, ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ neighborhoods, demographics, criteria, costs, and time along with a 20-year career learning what you care about most.

But none of that matters if you don’t believe I’ll look after your best interest.

In fact, I make certain promises to prove it.

For example, I promise to do it right the first time.

If you’ve been a real estate investor for any period of time, you know things don’t always go as planned.

Sometimes, it’s a sickness, a weekend, a holiday, city planning, the utility company, or something that just falls through the cracks.

It happens, and it’s the nature of the business.

I’ll never take your money and inspect a property that isn’t ready – we’ll just convene to decide if it should be postponed.

I promise to deliver your report the same day.

I also promise that my full home inspection checks 100% of the items I can see, touch, and test.

When it comes to real estate investor home inspections, the only thing that matters is trust – period.

Here are other promises I make to you:

1. I will always inspect your property myself (never an employee, apprentice, or amateur)
2. I will always walk on the roof (if I won’t fall off)
3. I will always open the main electrical panel (if I won’t be standing in a puddle of water)
4. I will never do an inspection if I know the house is in an area you don’t want to buy in
5. I will never charge for the first time I get to a property that isn’t ready and have to reschedule
6. I will write my reports in plain English so you’ll understand even if you’re brand new
7. I will answer the biggest questions before you even think to ask
8. Termite inspections will always be free with a full home inspection
9. I never let you overlook or neglect important details that might haunt you later
10. I will always advise you on what you need and don’t need based on the circumstances, age, and condition of the home
11. And best of all, you will get a permanent 15% discount after 3 full-priced real estate investor home inspections

What’s The BIGGEST Difference Between Bulldog And A Cheaper, Less Experienced Home Inspector? 🤔

Aside from the confidence and experience to NOT get fooled or pushed around by agents, owners, and contractors?

Cheaper inspectors only see the defects.

“Hold on, Steve…isn’t that what they’re supposed to do?”

Technically, yes. That’s good enough to ask for payment in exchange for their service.

But think of it this way…would you hire a subcontractor who does the bare minimum or uses best practices?

Or even better, if we can agree that a property has a story to tell and that the home inspection tells it, cheap inspectors hand you separate chapters while I tell you the whole story.

That’s because I look beyond defects to find the source and extent of damage.

The rules don’t require me to dig that deep, but I can so I do. I mean, once you know, you can’t unknow.

How do I tell the whole story?

Knowing the right questions to ask.

Every inspection report should answer 11 specific questions that probe into the defects to give you key information.

These questions help you understand the full story and the impact each issue has on the home.

Here are they:

1. What did I find?
2. Where is it?
3. What does it mean?
4. What will happen if it’s ignored?
5. Any signs of past repairs?
6. Is it a major concern?
7. Has it affected anything else?
8. Has it damaged any surrounding areas?
9. What do I recommend?
10. What caused it?
11. Any signs of past problems?

Minor issues don’t go into all this digging, but these questions are always front and center during the inspection.

Cheaper, less experienced home inspectors barely understand what they’re doing, let alone know how to get the key information out of their heads and into your report.

This is no bueno, considering everything they know about your property is yours to keep.

However, since communication is treated as an afterthought by most home inspectors, you end up with a report that makes you as confused as a man whose wife just admitted she was wrong.

Mine not only answers those 11 key questions but it’s also written in plain English using an inverted pyramid style so even my dear old hippie mom from California would understand (love you, mom!).

Plus, it’s full of enhanced photos that let you see the issues yourself, and gets delivered on the same day.
