Hi Jennifer,

I am a realtor in Philadelphia and working on my own REI too. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and the journey of REI. Looking forward to read more of your sharing.

Amazing deal, Austin! 

@Mike McCarthy

Great point about to get a little camaraderie with the inspector at the inspection. Actually, at the end of the inspection，the inspector told me I can pay the final inspection fee now to save money for both inspections. He also said I could call him anytime if I have questions. I think being at the inspection really worth it. 

Thank you for sharing!

Chris Svendsen,

Thank you for your comment. 

I hope the final will be easy. I definitely will be there for the final. What kind of testing that I need to prepare for the final?

Thanks everyone for all the comments. 

@Brian Pulaski The rough inspection finally passed after the electrician fixed the list of things that the inspector failed. 

@Christopher Phillips: I did not get it neither.  

@JD Martin The electrician said he do mostly commercial jobs. 

@Mark Redmann I called the inspector to reconfirm the appointment in the morning of the inspection. I told him I am the owner of the property and will meet him at the inspection. Neither the electrician nor me met the inspector in person at the last two inspections. I told the inspector we have fixed everything according to the fail list. He went through the property quickly then passed. Now, I just hope the final inspection will be alright. 

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first row home that was built around 1920's in Philadelphia. Planning to learn fix and flip or turn it to a rental after I stay there for a year or so.

My licensed electrician friend and his workers are helping me update the electrical wiring of the house. Electrical permit was pulled. The rough inspection was failed. After we have corrected everything on the list from the 1st inspector, the electrician requested another inspector from the same company to do the 2nd inspection. The second inspector reinspected the house like a new inspection and failed even more stuffs. The electrician said he could have a new company to do the 3rd inspection. I told him not to do that. I am afraid it will create more problem. 

How should I handle this situation? Please help!!!
