Real Estate Investor Home Inspections

No-BS real estate investor home inspections by a master inspector who speaks your language.

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

What’s the most important thing I’ve learned over the last 20 years?

There’s not just one most important thing, 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 inspecting investment properties that’s taught me which areas of a home matter most to you.

But none of that matters if you don’t first believe I will never compromise my principles or take shortcuts because it’s easy or convenient. That just won’t happen.

I make promises to earn your trust and nothing can get in the way of that.

For example, I promise to do it right the first time. Sometimes, that means putting the brakes on an inspection at the last second because I show up and find the water is turned off. Or the electricity. Or the gas.

Oh well. That’s part of the job. I’ll call and bring you up to speed, give you my opinion (which will always be postpone the inspection until everything is on), then let you decide what to do next. That will happen every time.

Or the promise I make to deliver your report the same day.

Or check 100% of the items I can see, touch, and test.

Or to do what’s best for you. Sometimes that means switching from a full inspection to a major-items inspection because the home is too rough to inspect the details. I’ll never take your money and leave you with a shit inspection with my name on it even if it means talking myself out of a payday (which I do more than I like to admit).

Because when it comes to real estate investor home inspections, the only thing that matters is having a relationship based on trust – period.

Here are other promises I make to you:

  1. I’ll always be the one who inspects your properties (I’ve had a team before but it was a headache. There are always headaches in business but I prefer the headaches that come with doing things myself)
  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 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 and it isn’t ready
  6. I will write my reports on a 5th grade reading level so even if you’re brand new, you’ll understand
  7. I will answer the most important questions so you’ll have the information you need without asking
  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. And best of all, you will get a permanent 15% discount after 3 full priced home inspections

15% Discount for Life*

*Purchase 3 (three) 2000-item real estate investor home inspections at full price and your 4th full home inspection (and beyond) come with a 15% discount1.

This means a 1499 sq.ft. home inspection + termite inspection goes from $445 to $378.25.

Why three you ask? I’ve been around long enough to have had at least a couple dozen investors promise to send me all their business if I give them a discount right away. Needless to say, I got ghosted like I brought cooties to Mali-boo 👻.

1Excludes radon testing, major-items inspections, stand-alone services, and sewer scope inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you’re NOT concerned about defects in other areas, or the home is in really rough shape.

Click here to more details:

Good question.  There’s a big difference. 

Click here for details:

Your first 3 inspections are full price.

The rest have an automatic 15% discount*.

*NOT available with the major-items inspections and ONLY available with single-family homes.

No. 

This is a no frills, ala carte, bare minimum, Spirit airlines kind of inspection. 

But it can be added.  Just let us know.

This is an important question.  Especially if you’re buying an older home.


I would NEVER discourage a sewer scope inspection, but sometimes it’s a no-brainer.


For instance,

  • The home is 40+ years old and has clay or tile sewer lines
  • After a rehab
  • Been sitting vacant for any length of time
  • Has an absentee owner
  • Missing a seller’s disclosure
  • The water was turned off to the home
  • Occupied by a tenant
  • In a rural or mature area
  • Has large trees nearby


It’s important because sewer line repairs can range from $500-$30,000.


We DO NOT perform sewer scope inspections. 


Instead, we partner with a company called HydroPhysics to do them for us.

No.

We don’t know if it’s off for a reason so it’s not safe and should be lit before the inspection starts. 

No.  And neither should you.  Here’s why…


This is the MOST INSIDIOUS system and we don’t take any reckless chances that might end up causing mold and moisture damage in a property you’re buying.


If we didn’t turn it off, we don’t want to turn it on. There might be a leak we don’t know about.


And even if we get permission to turn it on, it doesn’t always come from someone with first-hand information and we don’t want to find out the hard way that a repair hasn’t been made.


Plus, by this point, the buyer must also agree to the risks since it will be their home in the end.


Just play it safe.  If the water is not flowing through the faucets, it’s always best to postpone the inspection and let the seller turn it on.


This lets them find and fix any leaks BEFORE the inspection so we can do the inspection right the first time.
