Try and catch pre-construction so you can have an inspector conduct a three-phase inspection (foundation, frame, and final) throughout the time they are being built.

I didn't catch what you did for a living?

You only eat what you catch; there is no salary. 

If you can stretch your budget a bit more and depending on the current age of your roof, a new one could absolutely catch you a nice return in your appraisal.

If he made those big ticket improvements and only requires some cosmetic work, depending on how much he needs to be current, then it might be worth catching up the loan into if it leaves you a good amount of equity or can produce some great cash flow.

It's in a very good area of the city (Miami) and I'm confident it can generate a solid return based on the asking price, however there's just one catch (There always is!)

Unfortunately, this is a bit of a Catch 22.If we test and they find it - we probably need to move the tenant out to fix the problem.We don't want to do this now, plus it's rather expensive if they also find lead and then we need  to fix. 

There can also be something caught in the trap, like hair, that can then catch all of that too and stink.

First, I would increase the size of your list so you can catch more people.

You can also catch them online.
