Initial Property Assessment (IPA) or Feasibility Analysis

Feasibility Analysis/IPA

The Bill Evans Home Team Feasibility Study/IPA takes about 1 1/2 hours to perform. We look at the property more thoroughly than other 203k Consultants; however, the IPA is not a Home Inspection. There are a number of overlaps between the Feasibility Study/IPA and a Home Inspection.

Below are some of the major differences and similarities between the two types:

Costs for repairs are included in the Feasibility Study (FS) but not in a Home Inspection (HI)
HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical systems are evaluated in more detail during a HI. The FS is looking for any major operational conditions.
The HI describes the home in more detail and includes photographs of conditions; the FS does not provide this information.
The HI will test and evaluate items that would be required to be replaced by the HUD 203k MPR’s. The FS would not test or evaluate these but call for their repair or replacement.
The FS focuses on primary heating condition whereas HI includes AC functionality.
Both FS and HI look for and identify structural integrity, weather soundness, safety or health issues, plumbing and electrical operation.
