Investor Property Inspection Checklist

EDITORIAL BRIEF — NOT PUBLISHABLE AS-IS. Replace this entire body with the finished article before changing status to published. Brief #75 of the 100-article content plan.

Assignment

• Working title: Investor Property Inspection Checklist
• Target length: 1000 words
• Focus keyword: investor property inspection checklist
• Primary internal link: /investors/deal-analyzer — link to it in context, not as a footer dump.

The angle this article has to own

Different from a homebuyer inspection: scope and cost estimation rather than pass/fail. Big-ticket first — foundation, roof, sewer, electrical service, HVAC — with a Houston sewer-scope and drainage emphasis.

Verify before publishing

Must not duplicate brief #32. Keep this one purely about capital planning.

House rules

• Domestic Real Estate is a marketplace, not a buyer, lender, brokerage or tax adviser. Never write copy implying we buy property, lend, or give individualised legal or tax advice.
• No invented statistics, averages, client results or testimonials. If a number cannot be sourced, describe the mechanism instead of quoting a figure.
• Cite Texas statute by section where the article relies on it, and note that exemptions apply.
• Add a closing legal/advice disclaimer on anything touching law, tax or lending.
• Fill in seo_title, meta_description, secondary_keywords and faq_schema before publishing. The FAQ schema must match visible on-page questions.
