Embracing the journey of creating your dream home is indeed a thrilling investment in your future. Spending those additional few hours to confirm everything is in tip-top shape before closing is invaluable. Plus, getting any necessary repairs done is easier when the ink on the closing documents hasn't dried yet!

I love this video. I’m under contract with the new construction estimated closing is in July. I took this one step further as I’m self-aware and understanding how I might approach this. I hired a company to do this for me. Lonestar inspections of San Antonio. they agreed to do the inspection for pre-drywall inspection, and pre-closing inspection with the checklist and build a punchlist for me was a great investment. Thank you for this video.

@MichaelPernaTV 3 месяца назад

First thank you for the compliment on the video. I work hard to try to bring value. Second that’s awesome & you nailed it. Most people I work with skip the 3 inspections to save cost, a lot of the time I’m paying for it as their agent because I believe in it. One tip: put an appointment for yourself for 11 months after closing to have the last inspection & document all nail pops, paint cracks, cabinet discoloration, everything & call in 2 weeks before the year warranty is up. Most builders outsource that to a different company & their sticklers for that 12 month deadline.

@shawnwilcox6913 3 месяца назад

😂 thank you so much you. I laughed because when you replied to the comment I was putting on my calendar to remind me to schedule an inspection one month before warranty expires!

@victorbeltran9344 4 месяца назад

Good video. I would also add inspecting walls and ceilings for visible settling cracks, if you have fans that are controlled by remotes to check that one remote won’t control all fans/light in the other rooms (happened to me), operate the attic ladder make sure it looks good, ask for all the paint colors of home interior and exterior for future touch ups, inspect floor Tap on tile with a dense item to make sure Ian entire room isn’t hollow & ensure no major cracks on tile or stains on carpet. Overall no home will be perfect so take defects with a grain of salt. 🤙🏼

Thank you for this information, very informative. I have my walkthrough tomorrow, I just wanted to see your thoughts and tips. I did a walkthrough at least 3 months prior to them finishing and took a video. I reviewed the video and saw that an outlet was installed upside down…is this an issue or should I let it pass?

@MichaelPernaTV 9 месяцев назад

I would have them fix it. You’re paying a premium for a new product. It should be done right. And it shouldn’t be more than a simple fix flipping the plug over. Have em do it

@ladyk-karlah7221 9 месяцев назад

@@MichaelPernaTVmy project manager told me that if an outlet is installed upside down, it denotes that the outlet is tied to a wall switch. Is that proper protocol? I have my walkthrough on 10/30. He calls me weekly and invites me out to walk through with him, so he will change it if I want it changed.

@MichaelPernaTV 9 месяцев назад

@@ladyk-karlah7221 My father is an electrician, I just txted him with the questions to be sure there isn't something I'm missing. I've seen a few folks do it in the past (put a plug upside downd) but mainly it was my grandfather for that reason, to know which plug is connected to a switch. However, that fell out of practice a couple decades ago because most people like plugs to be congruent.

Orientation is Today, and I found your video. I have a question at the end of the driveway there is a hair line crack on the driveway, builder said it was normal, and they were not going to fix it because it's normal bla bla bla, just wondering if this is true, or should we have them fix it before closing August 8th. Thanks again.

@MichaelPernaTV 11 месяцев назад

Should electrical panels also be inspected?

@MichaelPernaTV 8 месяцев назад

Yes 100%, the most common thing I see is over fused circuits. Usually that can cause breakers to trip but it is a fire hazard because it’s too much power being drawn from one circuit

I didn't become financially independent till I was 40 ,in addition to buying my second house, I'm also making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future! By participating in the financial market, I took a significant decision.

@NanciClem 8 месяцев назад

Generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, it's important to have a solid support structure to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (Alex martin tarlor) an investment specialist who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, his experience has been the best for my finance
