You made a suggestion to buy "2 apartments" well, after all the study you have done about how to do real estate deals, it seems to me you don't know the basic classifications of real estate, single family dwelling and multi-family dwellings.

people living under the same single fam roof/dwelling don't routinely collect RENT from the rest of their family as  LANDLORD-TENANT relationship(s), even if it is their MOTHER IN LAW =Dthus, while the house may have a grandfathered (or grandparented to be more PC?)

--by the time escrow closed, I was a landlord.imho, Robinson handles the human side of landlording well (along with technical and legal issues), while Nolo is the gold standard for in-depth, up-to-date legal stuff.Meanwhile, do get your head examined.

Finding a nest of rare animals is astonishing.Finding human remains or similar situation is creepy.

"How to Sabotage Your Human's Podcasts" by Charlie Barken

Not only do I want someone to look for mold I want an expert on how to mitigate the issues and be held to warranties/guarantees.You might want to ask your experienced Real estate attorney if he or she can recommend one as they see so many parts and pieces of inspection reports they often can steer you away from some bad ones.In my honest opinion NEVER use one recommended by a Realtor...Hope that helps...Ps; Remember they are human but they are getting paid to do a thorough/ethical/honest (well at least one that fulfills the contract you sign with them "hence read it ask questions before signing it" inspection for YOU!

Sometimes people forget that we are human beings with families to support.Do have a buyer's agency agreement or not is an interesting question for which there are countless possible answers.

looking for mostly single family dwellings..

If your business entities and trust(s) are properly structured, your history as a past owner does not have an impact when someone is seeking to find the human behind the owner(s) of any specific property, as far as I know.

I believe it says I am exempt since it mentions that only "buildings" with 3 or more dwelling units require it, and I only have "buildings" with 2 dwelling units.
