Or, you can rent to a regular tenant and not have to deal with the extra paperwork, the lost time/rent, the failing inspections and the power hungry inspectors, the justification for rent increases, and the government.

If it is needed kindly let me the know the expected cost incurred for the inspection and also a good inspector contact?

Best approach is to maintain a strong relationship with the inspectors.

Most house inspectors are equipped with that. 

Begin with a smaller project to gain experience, and ensure you assemble a reliable team of contractors, appraisers, and inspectors.

I can barely get firms to look at columbus with 10x years of experience thats mostly for ground up. the average house cost is still less than 100k which means you have a lot of houses to tear down still to create a housing shortage. the economics don't make it favorable for any type of investing but turn key or maybe ground up in the urban core which works in any city. but compare any of these cities, I'll take Indianapolis, Chicago, Minneapolis, and columbus and Milwaukee and pass on the rest. 

Being from the Midwest I'm a fan of KC and Indiana - fun fact, Indianapolis has had nearly 40 yrs of steady rent growth.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good home inspector in the area?

A home inspector would have identified the non-functional windows and that should have been addressed immediately.2.
