Fees can be sneaky—markups on maintenance, random charges for inspections, lease renewals, etc.

I've never spent money on inspections/environmental before having the property under contract.

Slightly increased the offer to quickly go under contract, but still had inspections and everything done before completing the deal.

Maintenance and UpkeepRegular Inspections: Schedule periodic property inspections to address maintenance issues.Emergency Repairs: Have a plan in place for unexpected maintenance needs.Furnishing the Property: Budget for necessary furnishings and appliances.7.

When it was time for inspections, they told me, I can’t do that and the area is not deemed for multi family- which is a lie because both houses on either side of mine were duplex.

City has to inspect if I'm not mistaken to determine if threshold is met to where it is a tear down or rehabable.

If you are worried about your foundation and want to have it inspected, I would recommend Triton Foundation.

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

Do you have any referrals to build a solid network on the ground?   

Landlord beware.S8 will schedule an inspection for your property.
