First, inspectors can be overzealous.

Only it should be easier (and maybe faster) because you now have experience and a team (initial team at least) in-place with broker, title company, inspector, prop manager, etc. 

If she complains about photos, just wait until you try and show it or inspector(s) want to spent 3 hours poking around every corner.

HI BP Friends,I just got in contract for a multifamily apt building in the portland, oregon area, I'm looking for any referrals for a good property inspector and sewer scope contractors.Thank you!

The most thorough checklist will be hiring a property inspector to check each unit individually.

Just hire a home inspector/contractor to look at them would be the simplest solution.

Not necessarily looking for an inspector as they will defer to the foundation guy. 

If so, you'll have the option to walk away without losing earnest money if the inspector discovers lead paint or anything else that makes you uncomfortable. 

Revisiting this... after inspections by plumber, foundation, and AC (not a general inspector) and winning the fight to get utilities turned on, I've come up with $25k of repairs/replacements. 

I'm trying to stay ahead of the process by looking for a reputable and trusted home inspector now.
