I recently broke my own rules and hired a new GC we had never used before to do a 700 sq ft unit thinking it was a small quick project.

Do now hire a "regular" realtor. 

@Salvatore D'Agostino When choosing a cost segregation firm, it's crucial to hire a reputable company.

I'm wondering if there are any strategies pros employ for multifamily inspections where it can be either done using other people's money or if a cheaper solution would work such as hiring a local property manager/agent to do a walk through.

The sales rep was saying they guarantee three deals in 90 days or they work for free and not sure if they stand by their word.Thanks  

To their credit they're being pretty transparent about how this went down and they say they've hired a lawyer to take action against the inspection company they hired.  

I really don’t want the seller to just walk away because the U&O is too difficult (I also went through this process about a month ago with another home.)Should I call offer some advice/contractors number to hire to get it fixed up, go get a lawyer involved, or do I have other options?

Hiring a designer, even a virtual package, may be a good option for you especially if this is your first property. 

Break-even or positive cash flow is key for passive income.Property Management: Since you’re aiming for passive income, consider whether you’ll manage the property yourself or hire a property manager.

My GC primed and painted over them a few times thinking they were just old, stubborn stains that needed extra product, but they kept coming back after each rainfall.I hired a water intrusion detection company to help me pinpoint the problem - they said the new roof seemed solid and that based on infrared and temperature readings, the moisture is coming in from the partition walls.
