Recommended inspectors for old properties, sloping floors
Hi all!
I'm a fairly new investor in the Twin Cities. I just had an offer accepted on a duplex built in the 1900s. (My first house hack, hopefully!)
I've never owned or managed a property built before 2000, so I feel out of my depth. It seems well maintained, but there was some settling and sloping of the floors. No major cracking or other warning signs that I could see, there are tenants safely living in the house, and the TISH was pretty clean (although it did mention the sloping floors). I rented a house with sloping floors in college, and had no issues with it, but then again I didn't own the property!
Does anyone have any recommendations for inspectors who are experienced with old houses, particularly sloping floors? Anything you recommend that I watch out for?
Thanks so much for your help!
