Walk Through Prior to Offer

[Justin Elliott]

Question for the community.  Since I'm not a handy guy myself.  Is it typical to have an inspector or GC walk through the property the first time you see it during the showing?  If so, do you pay them to do the walk through.  I'm looking at multi units and so that complicates the process a bit more as they may not all be vacant at the time of the showing.  I was able to find an inspector that would provide feedback about the property for $150 per showing.  Is that reasonable?

I'm looking for a general report on foundation and how much work certain projects may be before I make an offer.

Thanks,

Justin
