I began uploading behind-the-scenes film from property inspections, due diligence processes, and other facets of my investment operations.

Get in there asap and inspect the unit and identify what needs to be done before a new tenant moves in.  

However when I choose a property im considering putting and offer on, I run into issues like existing tenant or vacant with repairs needing to be made before rent ready which is essentially what I’m looking for to force the equity myself.The problem is that I’m unable to find PM or contractors willing to translate what the inspections are showing, what needs to be dealt with, and for how much before closing.  

Many of these make more profit on a bottle of soda than on 10 gallons of gas.The other model is Gas + auto repair / inspection / sales. 

You are competing against cash as is close in 1 week - 10 days, vs Inspections, appraisals, so about 30 - 60 days.

Then go in and inspect the property and go from there.  

We just had our inspection done, and there are some things that need to be addressed, for one, there is ongoing water intrusion due to no roof flashing, or chimney flashing still existing.

The 5% down loan allows them to go the conventional route and most are skipping home inspections and have agents who are unfamiliar with the issues they can run into with Knob and Tube wiring, lead paint and older windows/roofs. 

In regards to point 4), you mention the possibility of a tenant living for free indefinitely inside an unwarranted unit, due to the inability of the landlord to enforce rents, and the inability to perform an eviction.It's my understanding that if the Department of Building Inspection (DBI) discovers the unwarranted unit, it's possible for them to force the landlord by law to legalize the unit.

Also, if there are any good reads out there, I would love to know that too.Interest - HOA - Appraisal - Repairs and Maintenance - Home Inspection - Devices - Travel related - InsuranceThank you, Bigger Pocket Family!
