Don't let them choose for you.Just inspect what you expect....Also I would talk to housing office in Memphis to get a feel of how many people are on the Section 8 waitlist, what kind of rents they pay, what zip codes are they targeting, see if they have any stats about how long tenants stay and average rent.While a lot of people try to look at google street view to get an idea of the neighborhood, there is no substitute for visiting in person.

This is your time to comb over the property and inspect everything that is important to you. 

Hi Jenna,If you ever need a home inspection, let me know and I will gladly assist you.www.inspectingga.com

You’re left doing all the work: finding deals, inspecting properties, putting your own money down while they take no risk at all and still expect 50% of your profits until they’ve made $500,000.

Tenants should pay  utilities - they're consuming those and landlords should 'inspect' what they expect on a quarterly basis and that includes verifying that utilities are current.  

I do not worry much about "hurried or sloppy work" because it is also in my contract that all work must pass inspection, which may include the city / county (for permitted projects), lender and myself.

Don’t do clean up until the insurers inspect.5.  

The latter means you can also do an inspection of the home and see how things are.

Conducting inspections and due diligence on the condition of a property to derive realistic estimates for repairs is still the key.

@Danth Aman I'm assuming you're doing a general home inspection?
