- Determine Rent Comps
Now that you're under contract, it is time to double check rents for the property so you can object using the Inspection Objection if rents will not work for you.
Research comparable rental property rent rates.
We are testing a subscription service that provides rental comps, so ask your Real Estate Broker to pull a report on your property to see what rent comps are from that service.
You may also want to contact your Property Manager if you're going to use one to get an idea of what they think rents would be.

WARNING: Don't say or do anything at an inspection you wouldn't say or do right in front of the Seller. They may be recording you.

If they're not, the Appraiser will charge you a second trip fee to go back out and check to make sure they are there before Closing. Easier to check at the inspection (with the help of your Home Inspector) so we can let the Seller's Real Estate Broker know to have them installed prior to the Appraiser going to the property for the Appraisal.

- AT INSPECTION: Photograph important appliances
While at your inspection, if the appliances are important to you, photograph them and maybe photograph the model numbers of them.
It is exceptionally rare, but some Sellers may try to switch out appliances between the inspection and Closing. If you have photos of the appliances and the model numbers it will make it easier to show what was installed at the time of the inspection.
And, yes, I know I am paranoid.

If you objected using an "Inspection Objection", you will usually use an "Inspection Resolution" form with the help of your Real Estate Broker to come to a resolution to what you and the Seller agreed to regarding the inspection items.
