Does anyone have any recommendations for property inspectors?

After about 8 months, the city rental inspector knocked on the door and the tenant let them in. 

Be sure and get a proper inspection on that building done by a licensed inspector and accompany him/her through the inspection every step of the way. 

Yes Section 8 provides a consistent dependable cash flow, however you must make sure the apartment can pass the Section 8 inspection and sometimes they can vary based on the inspector and you have still screen candidates properly. 

Did you have a licensed house inspector go through each house before purchasing?

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

Additionally, there is so much waste through a real estate transaction, it will take a long time to fully optimize the process (brokers, lawyers, title companies, appraisers, inspectors, they all have areas which can be optimized) I’m a licensed broker in NJ FYI

Also, as Kate mentioned, pre-inspections are also common.Any good inspector should be able to find a few thousand dollars of work.

I’ve seen brand new patios slope back towards the house, joist hangers attached with deck screws instead of nails, brand new roofs that leak, etc. there are a ton of hack builders out there creating problems for whoever buys the houses they build that’s why it’s recommended to hire an independent 3rd party home inspector even for new construction.
