We should have a poll to see how many real estate investors order inspections before purchasing a property.

I ordered one on my first property...it took only an hour, but I thought it was worthless so I never did one again.

This article made me think though because with every house I buy, I think I take me less and less time to inspect it. I'm not sure if I was even in my last property for 10 minutes before I bought it.[ No Comments Allowed for Anonymous, please register ]
