Investor Friendly Inspector

[Derek Adams]

I'm looking for a single-family home inspector that could spot all the problems with potential purchase in the Saint Louis area. I also need this inspector to be good with estimating repair costs quickly So that I could find out the true cost of this potential purchase. I would prefer referrals that you had a great experience with in the past. I would like for someone to be able to explain the cost to a new investor distinguishing needs vs preferences

I always bring a couple contractors during my 5 day walk-through period and get their bids on rehab. If their bids are reasonable I will move forward with the inspection for termites, sewer, and radon.

 I'm fairly new to real estate investing, but I'm already on my third deal since I started in January, and this system has been working for me. It's saved me from losing $500 on a couple homes I was under contract for and backed out of.
