How do you leverage home inspectors in your fix & flip/BRRRR projects?

Kwok Wong

Hey everyone,

I’m looking a better systems for fix and flips and wanted to get your input.

I know home inspectors are usually used by end buyers before closing, but I’m curious how other flippers here use inspectors strategically throughout the project.

Specifically:

Do you hire inspectors before acquisition to uncover hidden issues and negotiate price drops?

Do you use them during renovation planning to help prioritize your scope of work and avoid over-improving?

Has anyone here done a post-renovation inspection before listing to catch issues before buyer inspections and use the clean report for marketing?

I want to make sure I’m not leaving money on the table or exposing myself to surprise repairs later on. Any tips on:

Best timing to bring them in
Key questions you ask inspectors to get the most value
How they’ve helped you increase profit or avoid major losses

Would love to hear your experiences and strategies.

Thanks in advance!
