In this episode, Dave and Ross discuss: Ross’s professional journey, starting in 1998. What is checked for on all inspections. Working within HOA (Homeowner Association) guidelines and understanding your rights and responsibilities. Reserve studies and special assessments. Key Takeaways: Inspectors cannot tell you whether or not to buy, but should give you the information that will help you make the most educated decision possible. You need to understand what you legally own (for condo owners) and are in charge of, as it can vary from building to building. The taller you go on the building, the more severe you need to be on your due diligence in regards to safety. You want your inspector to speak clearly and say what is and is not there. Communication needs to be clear and understandable by all parties involved. "That's all we ever ask of any homeowners. You've got an asset, homeownership or condo ownership, it's dynamic, you’ve got to stay on top of it. You can't get in shape with one workout, but you can get in shape with a lot of workouts." — Ross Neag About Ross Neag: CBI is a full service residential home, condo and commercial building inspection company in greater Chicago.
