Hi Reuban, ty for saying you're buying a used house. That was the realest thing you can say about an older house. I have my mine Monday. I think my guy will be fair. Thanks again.

[@houseorhome4707]

Good stuff. I like how Reuben understands that anything can be fixed.

[@the-brand]

Dude, this video was extremely helpful in both information and calming my nerves a bit lol. Appreciate you!

[@tiger7892]

Thanks so much for this video! I just got my offer on a home accepted yesterday and now I'm trying to book an inspection

[@emiltchilev9026]

Thank you sir. I'm an inspector and i'll use some of your ideas in my presentations. Very professional.

[@freeralo6787]

Top notch info, thanks for the helpful video :)

[@aaronolipendo5460]

Thank you for the clear cut informative video. This answered every question I had.

[@alinasilvanogonzalezrealty7671]

Excellent video and recommendations.

[@aeonjoey3d]

Thank you so much for this video. We're extremely lucky, we're buying the house we live in from our landlord so a lot of the market part of the sale are skipped, so we're right at the pre approval and moving onto comps and inspections, we know most of what's problematic with the home but we know there's a lot we're unaware of, it's had a LOT of tenants over the decades.

[@nasserahmad6866]

Thanks, this video contains all helpful information for the first time buyer like me.

[@clarissavangelder250]

Thank you for being so informative.

Great Video! Thanks for the great info :)

A 300 dollar inspection fee sure is cheaper than a house that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seems a lot cheaper to me.

I just paid 530

[@kaitlynmiller5153]

@@bannabozo8033 sameee 😂🤣 butttt ours came back 31 pages of what’s wrong lol. 31 PAGESSSSS! Insane, we are telling the sellers everything that was wrong so they can decline fixing it and we can get out of the contract 😂😂😂 so I’m grateful spending that money rather than getting the house and doing the repairs

I paid $300 my new condo and it will be done on February 9th

We just had our home inspection on a house we were buying and sadly we will be walking away. The roof needs replacing (which we were ok with). The radiator heater in the bathroom leaked (no big deal we wanted to take them out anyway). But wait it gets worse. The attic has asbestos insulation with active tub wiring running through it. All of the plumbing is galvanized pipes with an asbestos rap. The crawl space was so small our inspection couldn't get to half of the house. Under the half he couldn't access there was no vapor barrier and there was electrical wires laying on the ground due to not being able to get in and staple them up. Lastly and the worst of all someone cut the floor jostle under the bathtub to install the drain.

There's a buyer for every home...they may just need to adjust the price.

Excellent video, very helpful information. I feel much more prepared to enter the home buying process now thanks to this info. Looking forward to checking out more info in your other videos as well. Thanks!

Home inspections for any real estate transacion.

[@The_Empire_Chronicles]

Excellent job!

[@ejdotw1]

Great advise, thank you!

[@MrDiegoc16]

I with my family(mom) will buy a home soon. I went to forums and whatnot, but i remember someone saying there are 2 types of inspectors. The kind that does the inspections and leaves you a lot of paperwork with what is wrong and the one that takes you along and explains everything to you.

[@intuitionsbyniko7537]

A good inspector does both! Make sure to look up multiple inspector companies/ reviews. Also if you have a good realtor they should be able to recommend inspectors

[@sophieboisvert2886]

Awesome video thanks so much !

[@macey8578]

Great video!!

[@alandroc.718]

Great info, thanks!

I live in Missouri, and our suburbs have so much stucco that we call it Stuccoland. I thought stucco was for arid climates. I'm glad you recommend examining it.

[@shanese2542]

Are you an inspector in Missouri? I am currently in the process of buying a home in North County and I am looking for a good inspector.

[@Edzhjus]

This inspection business helps both buyers and sellers to avoid regret.. 😉

[@SSNUTHIN]

this is extremely enlightening. I'm sure the regulations vary a bit in California but I am sure ultimately we are looking for many of the same things. I am trying to buy a triplex that I intend to manage myself so I know the home inspection is going to be one of the most critical investments I make before purchase.

[@sandradelgadillo9430]

Did u ever buy a Triplex? I want to do the same

[@SSNUTHIN]

@@sandradelgadillo9430 I am in the process of getting pre-approved for a loan. Wish me luck!

[@sandradelgadillo9430]

@@SSNUTHIN I'm excited for u! I'm from California as well. I've been listening to Bigger Pockets (a very good you tube channel if u haven't looked them up) since late last year. I'm still learning to analyze a property among other things. You will do great. This is the beginning of an exciting adventure to financial freedom. May the force be with u!

[@vivekshukla2480]

Thank you so much. May I ask if you have any recommendations for homes that are being built anew, for example I heard you mention about roof and sewer, is that my top priority for a new home or something else that mustn’t be amiss. Thank you again.

[@jamesdombroski6727]

Thanks for the info man but you should make the video with better quality! I know its four years old but a ton of people click on newest videos. Also look to see how well the video quality is :). In the end its all up to you.

[@skellercoviello]

Rubin, what shoes/tools do you recommend for a home inspector to climb a roof?

[@jerryt4053]

Thank you

[@AActionHomeInspectionHouston]

What Sewer camera was that? It looks nice.

[@jessespad]

You don't have to purchase a home inspection to back out if a deal where I live. As long as you are within your inspection period, you can back out for any reason. Like he said, you don't have to give a reason. It's your due diligence time and you can change your mind for any reason.

[@sandytaylor1881]

Thank you so much this has been incredibly helpful

[@eliasestrada8050]

Hi I live in Minnesota too so I'm buying a house and it doesn't have a storm door so is it required a storm door in a house inspection??? Please help! Thanks

[@charlesstultz1879]

Was that sewer inspection guy in his socks? Lol

[@donwelke940]

You could say to the old man selling his house at basement bargain prices as he is moving into a assisted living home to, "Well, that septic is 18 years old and nearing the end of its useful life, so if you would take fifteen grand off the price, we will go ahead with the purchase." 95% of people don't know their backsides form their elbows and one old widower using the septic designed for six people has 30+ years left to live.

[@jdd1110]

So yes the inspection cost for just inspection is 300 but what about radon and pest control etc

[@tylernatof7652]

What about when the sellers list the home as pre-inspected? Even if they distribute the full report, doesn’t that still run the risk of being biased?

[@suzettem7373]

Yes but as a buyer you have the right to get your own home inspection

[@1stmoviefan]

Is having water barrels in your house attached to gutter a problem if you're selling

[@steveo78227]

So I have 2k cash. I don't know where to start I seen ati program should start there and call around to work for a company?

[@stephendre2902]

It’s like 300 bucks for a home inspection dawg

[@miserworthy5434]

In Buffalo, NY, a home inspection is $575 in 2024.

[@punderific444]

Theres alot of on hand money involved

[@Mustangb0y]

We have to pay before or after home inspection?

[@208gk]

After the inspection is finished, once paid then the inspector will finalize his/her report and send it too you.

Y is the sewer guy has no gloves and putting a non protected camera hose into the poop pipe 🤢

[@kingfish3066]

You have to beware of home inspectors these guys take a 2-week course anyone can call themselves a home inspector I've been around many some with bad attitudes that will go in and make a brand new house sound like it's ready to fall down within a week they say it's the unbiased truth but certain ones will try to control a real estate deal and put themselves in a position that they should not be in again a 2-week course what a joke

[@cynthiahowe]

lol can't trust any real estate agent.
