Good afternoon. David had forwarded your email to me. We are looking for national companies that could perform home inspections prior to closing and after closing for our borrowers. We are based out of Connecticut and we are lending in about 38 states.
Could you provide any referrals for InterNACHI inspectors to perform these inspections for us? Our borrowers buy dilapidated properties and then they fix them up to sell or refinance us out.
I don’t, but if you call her and get them tomorrow, post them. Don’t post her contact information though, I made the link to her contact info InterNACHI member password protected.
I got 12 “status inspections” today. These are inspections to check on progress, if any, since there hasn’t been a request for a draw this past quarter. Some are jobs that are progressing without a request for funds from the bank. Others are in default and calls to the contacts (builder and borrower) go unanswered.
Make sure the inspection fees match the house type/condition if they want full SOP inspections.
Crawlspace foundations and older homes will increase the inspection/report time greatly.
A limited inspection may be the way to go in order to be competitive on price and eliminate a lot of data and details that they may not need since these homes will need substantial work anyway.
Sign me up for a 30 mile radius of York SC if the fees are decent.
