Certain neighborhoods will have what's called a POS or Point Of Sale inspection.

You need to register, but there is no inspection in KCMO unless the tenant complains. 

I had told him that, like with all other payments, the work would have to first be inspected by myself and then the lenders agent who inspects.

Close with asking permission to informally inspect the property to see if you can make your vision work.

These experiences highlighted the need for thorough inspections and budgeting for contingencies when tackling older properties.

I recommend a full inspection before occupancy, at least one per year, and a full inspection after they move out.

This is something you will, as you already are, have to continue to research and plan out meticulously 

It was challenging to start.My realtor was not on my side and I trusted her to much, she said the house was fine, her husband did inspections and said it was fine and not to worry, the ARV was double the house value.

@Jesse StrengIf you buy turn-key, make sure you get your own independent inspection.

About 3 years ago she agreed to do a deal with me and we found the property and applied for the mortgage together and got to the inspection where a terrible problem was found with the foundation and that the walls of the building were significantly bowing.
