Most investors think a property inspection is just a checkbox before removing contingencies. It’s not.
In this episode, we break down the hidden dangers inside property inspections that can cost investors six figures if they’re missed—especially in multifamily and older buildings.
I’m joined by Tony Escamilla, owner of Villa Property Inspections, who has completed over 8,000 inspections across single-family, multifamily, and commercial properties. We cover the real issues inspectors and investors see every day, including electrical panels that can kill insurance coverage, aging roofs and HVAC systems, plumbing time bombs, structural red flags, and California’s SB 721 balcony inspection requirements.
If you’re buying apartments, commercial property, or even new construction, this is a must-watch before you waive contingencies or assume “everything looks fine.”
Topics include:
• Hidden electrical issues insurers are flagging
• Why roofs and HVAC systems destroy budgets later
• Plumbing and foundation risks in older buildings
• SB 721 balcony inspections and insurance implications
• New construction inspection mistakes most buyers make
• How to budget future capital expenses correctly
If you’re an investor, broker, or property owner, this conversation will save you money.
