This is a quick reminder to scope the sewer line. I had a client where we had a deal under contract, did the scope and it looked clean until it went under the street. It was ABS plastic till then but there was a repair needed there. Under the street get's very expensive. He had recent experience where a repair went from 8K to 30K due to going under the street.
Spend the few hundred bucks on the scope during your due diligence, always worth it.

Good point. I worked with an experienced real estate investor client and he was willing to skip every other inspection to get the deal done one but wanted to scope the sewer line.
