Baltimore Landlord Question Regarding Licensing

[Stephen Kehoe]

Hey there Baltimore Investors, 

I am thinking about getting an employee of my property management company licensed to be a Baltimore city registered inspector. Then he could perform the inspections required for the Baltimore rental license free of charge for the owner. The idea is he could perform the licensing inspection while performing one of our regular inspections. Before I invest in this I wish to ask the Baltimore investor community if this would be attractive to them?

I love the idea. I am no expert on whether that would be a conflict of interest (given that it would be the same property management company), but in theory it sounds like a great set up. 

I would double check with Housing Inspections to make sure this is okay.
