FHA Requirements for Inspection

[Jason Polykoff]

What are the FHA requirements when it comes to the inspection of a property? Do we need termite? What about Radon?

P.S. This is for a Philly area property. Thanks BP!

Don't need termite or radon. Chipping paint both interior and exterior is a big focus, handrails on steps 4 or more or larger drops (porch for example). Property needs to meet general safety and functionality items such as running water, heat etc. Hot water heater needs a TPRV discharge tube terminating less than 6 inches from the ground. Appraiser is the one verifying these items too, NOT the home inspector.
