Re: How far above SOP do you go?
David
I agree with what most others have stated and my take has always been whatever association or state SOPs you're operating under I would treat it like the building codes, i.e.; bare minimum. Cover the bases and go on as many "ride-alongs" with expereinced inspectors and try to take an average of how they inspect, how they look at things, and how they report them. A property inspection is only as good as the information disclosed within the inspector's written report. Then there's the 4 Ds; Discover, Disclose, Disclaimn, & Defer. True, an over simplification, but something to remember to keep you on the correct path.
