So it can be a double edged sword with this strategy as it helps you maintain and watch the property however the inspectors microscope every detail.Rental increases: Usually you'll want to add something to the property to add value to justify (appliances, doors, etc.)Sean recommended Mr.

My investment niche: buy and hold, duplex to fourplex.I am ready to take actions with the right property(s), and eventually, I would also like to get to know: Real Estate Attorneys, CPAs, Inspectors, and Property Managers.Could you point me to the right direction?

The appraisal pointed out a possible moisture problem in the basement and the under writer is requesting an inspection before approving the loan.Can anyone recommend an inspector in Chattanooga.Thanks

Are there questions I should ask to help me determine which inspector to hire?

The obnoxious building inspector was a different story.A similar home to my daughters in original 1980's condition just sold for $75K more than what we paid so the equity is there for her.

When I was in the process of buying the house my home inspector noted that the electric service to the house is only 60 amps, and should be upgraded to a minimum of 100 amps.I got a quote from a contractor for installing new service cable, breaker box, and ground rod for $1,900. 

This is a code violation and, according to our inspector (who is really awesome by the way), no electrician who we called to work on the panel would agree to either stand on the unit or perch above it in some wonky manner.  

I think if you have that threshold, work with a good inspector and don't over estimate your sales price - then you should be in solid shape.
