Property Inspection on MFH

I have an inspection scheduled today for a potential rental property. It's a concrete MFH that was built in 1950. I'm meeting with the inspector and will be asking several questions on standard items such as foundation, HVAC, electrical, etc... 

Does anyone have any recommendation or advice on *other* items to check? The water heater is shared between the 2 units and they also share the same water meter

Jovon,

You will want to get an effective age of the roof. It's actual age is not always its effective age. 

Windows are important to look at, from a safety standpoint as well as a cost. Poor, leaky windows drastically changes a home's energy efficiency. 

Sprinkler systems cant be overlooked either. I'm not sure of your strategy with this property but curb appeal means a lot to prospective renters.

A good inspector will know what to look for, but it cant hurt for you to have your own checklist!
