So when you get to inspections (or your realtor whom doesn't know much about investments, or your inspector who is filling your report with things that are irrelevant to you making money and being able to keep a happy tenant) often much more needs to be done than was disclosed and often these "deals" are being sold as is. 5) you realize that you can make the numbers work, but it's not a great deal.. and this is when so many investors will swoop in and say "it's fine, you don't need a home run!" 

I never thought to contact appraisers and inspector.

.- Aiming for SFH in Richmond, VA and I have a starter spreadsheet of insurance agents, realtors, home inspectors, mortgage brokers, and contractors that work in the area.- Ingesting as many BP podcasts as I can!!!!

Hopefully this helps if not PM me and I can ask an inspector at work.

I wanted to see if anyone had a recommendation on a good inspector who is familiar with 4plex/multi family buildings?

One needs a new tank (inspector said ~$10,000) and the other needs some minor work (inspector said ~$1,000).

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

The deal isnt done yet, they just accepted my counter offer and i found an inspector to come on monday so its a process hopefully i close on this property.

I spoke to my inspector who assessed the property prior to closing and he felt that it was in good shape and didn't require an expensive removal.

The process of hiring the right contractor, permits, etc. was a little bit difficult but we found the right people and the city inspectors helped a lot during the whole process.
