Hi Renata,To gain a clearer understanding of the overall condition of the home—including plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, and the roof—and to identify any major issues such as asbestos, water damage, mold, foundation concerns, or wood-destroying insects, I strongly recommend having the prospective properties thoroughly inspected.

You wont be wasting their time even if you dont buy for a while - that would be my first recommendation.

I own a 17 unit apartment building near Minneapolis built in the 60s and wanting to implement wifi camera system and modernize the access panel (wifi managed).Any vendor recommendations?

If house hacking isn't the best option for me, how would you recommend starting out to build up some investments.

What would you recommend when I finally do begun to build my network?

Even towns of less than 10k, as long as it is in a "good part" of town and there is somewhat stable growth in that area, then most lenders will not add any additional underwriting guidelines, especially if it is rented out.I always like to do the Walmart check (kind of what you recommended being by a store).

I recommend asking the buyer to complete a sewer scope inspection.

Also, I'd recommend just going down the online rabbit hole; there's a lot of information out there for free, but if you're interested in a formal, complete expert mentorship program sort of thing, we're working with Jeremy Werden investstr.com right for our STR property management business (www.ChattaStays.com) and we're receiving a ton of value from the mentorship.

It would be great if someone can recommend some good real estate agents. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
