I've done an excellent job at meticulously tracking everything, so I feel comfortable with the "monitor closely to see what a stable asset looks like" strategy.

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

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?

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.

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.      

I would do the following: Get a really good home inspection, if anything comes up, do not close until the things are fixed.

If we don't get a permit then does the inspector for the CO ask for it when he/she comes for inspection? 

Hvac, Insinkerator, furnace, water heater, toilet, fiberglass tub, roof, driveway, etc...Here's a link: https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/EUL_FOR_CNA_E_TOOL.PDF You might also want to consider a home inspection for each unit with a written report, and a sewer cam report.Good Luck!

We finished our inspection this past week and it looks like all the needed rehab to the place will be cosmetic (turns out their is a furnace and I walked right by it)!
