....

We are selling a house to a buyer using an FHA mortgage. *There is a
rule, because of lead paint, that any house built before 1978 cannot
have any "peeling, checking or flaking paint". *The property has no
lead paint....all buildings have been repainted since the late 80's.
An inspector came out, rejected it for that reason. *My son and I
scraped, power washed, scraped again, and painted. *They guy has come
back two more times and still rejected it. All he does is walk around,
take pictures and make a recommendation. *He doesn't touch the paint,
scrape it or anything. *All of the paint is tight. *The worst is, the
buyers don't want us to do the painting...they want to repaint it a
different color.
Any ideas....we are at the ends of our wits.

Don't sell to a buyer with FHA/VA financing or do as the guy told you the
WAY he told you to do it.....There is no other ways....

The guy told us nothing. *He just took pictures and put them in a
report. *He didn't even show us where the problem areas were located.
It is typical wood siding where the sun hits it all the time. *In
fact, on his last inspection after doing everything we could see, he
specified he wanted nobody at the premises when he was there. *At $75
a pop, he must need some money on his boat payment of something.- Hide quoted text -

Wanting nobody on the premises is strange.
