Looking for a great inspector for a 4plex
Just starting our RE journey! I'm hoping to get a couple names of inspectors to use for multifamily properties in the Baton Rouge area.

@Susan Foreman I recommend a FULL inspection. A thorough inspector is going to go in and bring to your attention things you probably would not have found on your own. You may be hesitant to really dig in all the nooks and hiding places yourself while someone is living there, but your hired inspector will not mind at all since he does it everyday. His report can be used as leverage for further negotiation on price with your seller if the list is significant, and generally speaking, a fourplex will tend to have a decent list of small items needing repair.
I'll PM you contact info for Kelly Olivier of Olivier Home Inspections; he is one of the best I've come across. Kelly is a 20 year experienced trim carpenter so he knows houses and construction. He is also in my business networking and referral group so I get a lot of opportunities to refer him to many happy clients.
Be grateful!
