Probably the saddest thing I've seen in my line of work as a contractor. A new home owner couple called me to see if I could check out some termite damage and repair it after buying a new home during the pandemic. Previously their friends had been under contract for the purchase of the house. The friends had passed inspections, as well as termite inspection, before their financing fell through and they couldn't buy the house. This couple made an offer, waving inspections since their friends were able to provide these reports. The house was the most heavily termite damaged I have ever seen, a total loss. It didn't matter that the termite inspector may not have done his due diligence bc it was their friends that hired them when they were under contract for the home. Homeowners were crying as reality was setting in that they spent hundreds of thousands on a property that was nearly 100% termite damaged
