Know what you're looking at before you pay an inspector to tell you.
90+ red flags, severity ratings, and what each one costs to fix.
The inspection report shows up and reads like a foreign language: "evidence of prior water intrusion," "service panel at capacity," "grade sloping toward foundation." This guide translates. 90+ red flags across every major system, each with a severity rating and a repair-cost range — plus a Florida cost table so you're pricing Florida repairs with Florida numbers, not national averages that don't apply. Walk the property before the inspector does, and you'll know which findings are negotiation leverage and which are walk-away signals.
What's inside
90+ inspection red flags — foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, moisture/water intrusion, pests, and exterior.
Severity ratings on every flag — cosmetic, repair-soon, or deal-threat. Know at a glance which category you're in.
Repair cost ranges — a realistic dollar band for each flag so you can estimate concession asks on the spot.
Florida cost table — repair pricing calibrated to Florida labor and materials, not national averages.

Buyers walking properties who want to triage before spending $400+ on a formal inspection.
First-time investors who can't yet tell a settling crack from a structural crack.
Anyone negotiating repairs or credits — severity ratings and cost ranges turn inspection findings into a concession number.

FAQs
"Does this replace a professional inspection?" No — and it doesn't try to. It makes you a smarter client of the inspection: you walk in knowing what to point the inspector at, and you read the report with cost context instead of panic.
"I don't invest in Florida. Are the cost tables useless to me?" The flags and severity ratings apply everywhere. The Florida cost table is calibrated to Florida — if you're in another state, use your local contractor pricing for the dollar bands; the severity logic still holds.
"I'm experienced. Is this too basic?" The severity-rating + cost-range pairing is what makes it useful past beginner level. Even experienced buyers use it to ballpark concession asks fast during negotiation.
