If your investments can't support the price of someone else doing the work then they may not have been the best choices for passive investments.If you are just starting out and are trying to maximize the cash flow to get established then I can understand that.Apartment complexes have a higher turnover.

If you plan to buy and renovate buildings you need to really understand costs and highest and best use of the property and how to maximize both.

The quality of home inspectors varies greatly based on:- ability to identify all relevant issues (no inspector will find 100% if you include minor issues)- correct interpretation of the issue (minimizing/maximizing of the issue)- ability to answer questions in a factual and practical way- quality of the report, easy to read, easy to understand (for the seller, who was not there!!)
