How to Read an Inspection Report
Answer 5 questions to read an inspection report like a pro: process, structure, red-flag grading, negotiation leverage, and next steps.
An inspection report isn't a pass/fail exam — it's a health report. Read it right and it becomes negotiation leverage, not anxiety. The skill is grading: safety red lines, structural issues, and mere maintenance notes.
- 5 categories: process → structure → grading → leverage → action
- Grading (C) is the core — learn it before opening the report
- Cross-check the report with disclosures — corroborated issues are the real ones
