As a real estate investor, it is very important to make sure that you are having all inspections possible completed on a property that you are interested in before you purchase it. Too many property investors make the mistake of assuming that if they have plans to completely remodel the property, that the inspections are not needed. This could not be further from the truth. Here are some of the reasons why you want to pay for property inspections: 

You Could Avoid A Total Loss From Mold

A lot of times, mold can grow inside of walls and within carpet padding, so it is not something that you are able to see by simply taking a look at the property on your own. While there are many mold issues that are able to be resolved, you will find that there are some that are not. Those situations arise when a property has been taken over by a toxic mold. If the conditions are severe enough, the property may have to be torn down and it will take a lot of extra money to do that because it must be done in a certain way in order to avoid the spread of mold spores to neighboring homes. This is a situation you would want to avoid. Therefore, you need to have a mold inspection completed on the property before you sign the closing papers to purchase it.

You Could Avoid Having To Rebuild The Main Structure Of The Home

Too many people think that everything looks good, only to later find out that the wood structure of the home is almost completely hollow from a major infestation of termites. If you are looking to invest in a property that will simply require a few small repairs or upgrades, a total rebuild may be something that you will want to avoid if at all possible. Since the termites destroy the inside of the wood, the only way you will be able to know if there is any significant damage would be to have the property inspected by a professional. 

As you can start to imagine, there are many benefits that come from having a property that you are interested in properly inspected by a professional. Once you have received the reports back that show you that the property is in good enough shape to invest in, you can move forward with scheduling a closing date.
