Realtors are no different than anyone else in regard to having business relationships with lenders, home inspectors, etc. 

The really interesting thing to me is in my experience as a building inspector for two decades and a drywall installer and all around construction type for many years prior to that I never encountered the subject....  

But it's not "troop" welfare in this case, it's tenant/realtor/lender/inspector/whatever welfare.

Yes our lender has given us 2 contractors to contact plus a hud inspector.

Should I just hire an inspector/specialist?

One reason to get an inspection is that it gives you a good punch list for what your future buyer's inspector will be looking for.

Also, gives me the added security of inspectors from bank checking contractors work before payment released.

In 2015 I secured my Home Inspector license in the State of Maryland and became a Certified Home Inspector with the the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, InterNACHI.In 2016 InterNACHI approved me to teach Maryland's 72 hour home inspector training course.

Check the local Building Inspectors Office -engineer information is there and or depending in your state city they can direct you in the right direction.

I'm also in need of building a team, which I'd expect to include general contractors, lenders (focused on investor terms), property managers, closing attorneys, home inspectors, and wholesaler/agent.
