The flashing looks like it was installed after the siding and roof were put on, notice what looks like a tear in the stucco. Also the flashing is missing a turn-back lip; that flashing leaks the entire length.
You can bet the stucco was also incorrectly installed; the moisture barrier should of prevented water on the OSB. And OSB is not recommended for stucco siding.
Good video, bet it was a difficult home to inspect.
i kinda like the kick out flashing. How ever they forgot to put in the step flashing. they do have counter flashing however
nice try

Great Video John
I bet your clients were thrilled when you found that defect as most stucco repairs are very expensive.

Good find... This is the sort of thing the average home buyer would have never found on their own.
