closing attorneys don't visit the property don't go to home inspections don't really interface with appraisers or lenders.. 

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

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.  

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

I have already spent a good 6-8 hours on the phone trying to coordinate with the seller, lender, appraisals, 1031 company, PM, inspection, etc. and I don't EVEN OWN THE PROPERTIES YET.Single family rentals are not scalable.

On the upside, they have a new investor portal which where you can view documents (like monthly reports/inspections by Aloha) and data on construction progress and returns.  

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.

Who is inspecting each deal before they offer/buy?

Of course, this is all done before we spend money on inspections, etc.It's all about the relationship you develop with the team on the ground.

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