Real Estate Investment will likely lead to some time spent with real estate inspectors.

As National Real Estate LLC of Michigan points out, most real estate inspectors can literally sentence your project to a kind of death.

That is unless you know how to deal with these inspectors.

With that in mind, the National Real Estate LLC offers these tips on how real estate investors should interact with real estate inspectors:

I have three tips that will have 97% of your inspections, regardless of the type go smooth, friendly and without problems.

1. GIVE THEIR HONEST EFFORT IN COMPLYING WITH REQUIREMENTS. So many inspectors are tired of people trying to fake repairs or get truly unsafe or problem areas overlooked. These people do have a responsibility to perform their job. If they can see that the investor have made an honest effort and done their best with a repair or requirement, they will find they are generally quite willing to work WITH them.

2. DON’T ASSUME. If they aren’t clear exactly as to what is required or what the inspector wants, don’t assume anything, just ask them. Most people never do this, they are afraid they will irritate the inspector by asking to many questions, etc., but I guarantee that they will have far less problems with an inspector by being very clear up front than trying to “squeeze” by at the last minute. Often, what the inspector will require is less than they may be planning to do.

3. BELIEVE THAT THE INSPECTOR IS A PERSON LIKE THEM. They have a job to do that is purposeful and worthwhile and they want to do it well. IT IEN’T PERSONAL ABOUT THEM (Although it can become personal).
