The problem may be getting inspectors to call you back if you are not licensed.I don't even bother calling inspectors anymore, I let my licensed contractors do that.

I also assured her that they have a key because they provide a key to their maintenance person and pest inspectors. 

(Think realtor, property inspector, contractor, etc)  Aside from those questions, I would encourage you to develop an acquisition sttategy, because cash flow deals may be hard to find. 

But, it depends on the city. if you applied for permit already (of course, you're changing panels), you need to ask the inspector, they are going to catch it anyway.

Get tight with a good inspector to help you anticipate (if it's not to your liking, invoke the inspection contingency and back out of the deal). 

Not to mention all the due diligence that goes into researching the TK business, the property management company, finding a licensed inspector, contracts, leases, etc, etc.

Blessed with a background in development coupled with working in planning, zoning, appraising, and home inspecting.  I have garnered a skill set that is proficient in just about any facet with regards to real estate.M...

During the inspection, we had trouble getting into one of the units because the tenant, a disabled veteran who has lived in the property for 8 year, was giving me and the inspector a lot of trouble.

Ill obviously have an inspector confirm this once an offer gets accepted.  

My partner goes to the section 8 office to negotiate a rent price which is in large part do to the amenities and condition of the house which will be noted by the inspector.
