In this vlog, Drew walks through the final inspection of a property he has been renovating. He confirms that carpet has been installed, all lights are functional, doors operate correctly, and bathroom fixtures (sinks and toilets) are draining and flushing as a home inspector would check. During the walkthrough he spots two minor deficiencies: missing transition pieces between the hardwood flooring and the kitchen, and a missing door knob. To ensure these items are completed before the house is listed or rented, he decides to withhold $500‑$1,000 from the rehab crew until the crew installs the transition pieces and the knob. He explains this financial holdback as a quality‑control measure and promises to update viewers on the property's status.

Heyo! Drew 2 time, and it's final inspection day at the property that I've been renovating. So we've got carpet in the rooms now. I make sure to turn on all the lights, the doors, in the bathrooms. I drain the sinks and flush the toilets and make sure all those things work that a home inspector would do too. But I do have a couple of small items that need to be done. Let me show you one. This little transition thing between the hardwood and the kitchen. There needs to be a transition piece here, and there's 2 of those. And then I'm missing 1 knob in the home. Now, it might sound crazy, but I'm going to withhold $500 to $1,000 until my rehab crew finishes those 2 small items. That's how I ensure that everything is functioning when the house goes on the market or when I rent it. Hope you enjoyed today's Drew 2. We'll keep you posted about what happens to this property. Talk to you soon.
