A contractor scopes what a renovation costs. A certified home inspector finds what’s already broken. For real estate investors, those are two completely different conversations – and mixing them up is how a good deal turns into a money pit.
The Ride Along hosts Brad Lowery and Matt Brading recently joined Dylan Silver on the Real Estate Pros podcast to make the case for professional inspections. They pulled from their own field work – including an inspection featuring a brand-new HVAC unit in a 4,000-sq-ft house that was undersized by half, and foundation cracks concealed behind fresh drywall – to show exactly what a contractor’s walk misses and why it matters to your bottom line.
Brad and Matt cover this kind of technical due diligence every week on The Ride Along, the no. 1 home inspection podcast.
