Lost $8,500 on a triple net lease inspection I skipped in Phoenix
I bought a small strip center in Mesa without getting a full roof and HVAC inspection, just trusted the seller's report from 2023. Turns out the AC units were on their last legs and the roof had hidden ponding damage that cost me $8,500 in repairs within 8 months. Has anyone else gotten burned by skipping a specialty survey on a smaller property, and would you still do it to save maybe $2,000 upfront?
