Foundation & StructureCracks can be common; structural movement is not. Structural issues can turn a good deal into a costly one very quickly.2. RoofGenerally, a roof that is not leaking or damaged even if it has exceeded its designed life is not a negotiation. But, any defects, damage or leaking is grounds to have the whole roof evaluated and priced out. Roofing material and age may affect insurance eligibility.3. ElectricalOutdated or unsafe wiring can affect financing, insurance eligibility, and tenant safety. Electrical work can escalate in price quickly if additional unsafe wiring is uncovered during their work.4. PlumbingWater damage spreads quietly. Plumbing issues often cost more than expected because they impact walls, floors, and finishes and could potentially cause mold growth.5. HVACHeating and cooling systems affect habitability, operating costs, and tenant satisfaction. During the home inspection you will learn the age and life expectancy of the HVAC system. Although, there are seasonal limitations for testing the HCAV system.If you learn to evaluate properties with these systems in mind, you’ll already be ahead of many new investors.Not every issue is a deal-breaker, during the home inspection we weigh out severity into major and minor items. The key question is always: Do the numbers still work?An inspection can help with more accurate rehab budgets, avoiding unexpected repairs after closing and price negotiations or seller credits.Some common pitfalls I see include:Skipping inspections to save moneyReading only the summary instead of the full reportNot attending the inspectionBeing present at the inspection is one of the best learning experiences an investor can have.Real estate investing isn’t about avoiding problems.It’s about buying problems at the right price.A quality home inspection will help you make decisions with clarity, confidence, and fewer surprises.Hannah will be happy to answer any questions.Register to get the Zoom link: Visit www.mreia.comDon't miss this opportunity to set yourself up for success in 2026! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/751ecc30-2093-11f1-a80c-71aa7eb81ff0-rimg-w740-h740-dc0a2449-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oceanport/focus-group-the-jersey-girls-women-investors-in-real-estate-wiire/100001984966288603 - **Event Categories**: meetups, nonprofit, virtual - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Oceanport - **state**: NJ - **country**: United States - **location**: Oceanport - **lat**: 40.3179397 - **long**: -74.0123851 - **full address**: Oceanport, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Focus Group: The Jersey Girls - Women Investors in Real Estate (WIIRE) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/6265449b384f804d432fba775251dbd147f2ddb12e7c32a871b3cff9b8229f43-rimg-w1200-h643-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1773595319 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Focus Group: The Jersey Girls - Women Investors in Real Estate (WIIRE) being held? - **A:** Focus Group: The Jersey Girls - Women Investors in Real Estate (WIIRE) takes place on Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 17 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Oceanport, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Focus Group: The Jersey Girls - Women Investors in Real Estate (WIIRE)? - **A:** Focus Group: The Jersey Girls - Women Investors in Real Estate (WIIRE) is organized by MREIA - Metro Real Estate Investors Association. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
