It may be smoother having someone there who has more experience, especially when the inspectors walk in.You can get materials or they can, some don't mind getting small stuff forgotten or needed, but the bulk of materials should be listed and who buys, picks up and arranges deleivery at different times is up to you.

I've been stuffing envelopes for two weeks, and once I get my home inspector license exam out of the way (hopefully, out of the way!)

I would like a recommendation of some Appraisers and Inspectors who work in these areas.

The land just sits there, it is People who rent and buy the land.No college class is going to teach you how to deal with a late paying tenant, or how to deal with the City Inspector, or how to judge a prospective tenant beyond just the numbers, or how to deal with the DEA when they want to break into one of your units, etc...Having six children, I can give very specific examples, but let's just say that I have learned that college is NOT for everyone.

During the process the seller said he'd be willing to mentor me, the house inspector, while answering my questions during the inspections, said he had some rentals over the years and I can have an open line for questions.

I know that anyone can be an "inspector" and was wondering if this is also true with appraisals.

However I don't have a piece of paper that says we passed them all from a 3rd party inspector.

I have a good home inspector that I used a couple times that only charges $250.

I need to buy property insurance for my new home purchase, and the tenant will not answer his phone, the door, or respond to allowing me to set up a time to make a meeting time for a property inspector to inspect the house for property insurance.

I've had inspectors scold us for "trying to make a quick buck".
