During your inspections, you can assess these expenses yourself.It's also important to step back and evaluate expense ratios to determine if they make sense.For smaller multifamily properties that are usually listed on the MLS, I would find a MLS agent who owns investment properties themselves, as they’ll better understand the process.

Because he/she will know the process of buying / selling properties so they can be better suited to ask you the right questions.For example, since I acquired properties in the past, I know the ask clients if they got a home inspection/appraisal / survey prior to closing on the property.

They 100% represent their clients best interest, but they will not over negotiate petty points on a home inspection. 

The application, VOE, and final inspection fees are about the only things in here that are semi-not standard; those vary by lender.

What are the top things to inspect on a Multi Family property? 

There was a pre-move out inspection where everything was determined to be in good condition and there were no deductions that would be made.

Hello everyone, I've done 3 buy and hold rental properties, and now I want to do flips, I need investors and I have some that have shown interest, in addition to speaking to private lenders that are willing to fund 70% of the LTV (based on the desired property)I'm seeing a lot of deals from wholesalers, but the problem is, some of them close in 2 weeks and some as long as a month, and they don't take conditional offers, and the good ones fly off the shelf really quick.My question is, how does someone like me close one of those deals within this short period, how do you arrange the equity and financing with little to no inspections sometimes even.I'd like to know how do I prepare myself to be able to close one of these good deals right away when they are offered to me and many others?

If your intent is to go ahead with the purchase how do you get around the inspection fee...another words do investors as a regular practice PAY an inspector to inspect the property even though its not really yours yet ...and may never be??

After doing property inspections, I can't help but think it's a waste of money, not everyone has the same level of cleanliness.
