No matter where you settle upon, your idea to build really comes down to your goals.

Tenant had some risk items such as extension cord going from outside to inside which invited an inspection.

While I was running my inspection business, trying to build a real estate business, and taking care of 4 rentals with family, I was also going to night school to get a degree in MIS.

I invest in land and have done entitlement/zoning and other DD work successfully for years.A broker called me this morning on a property I have on a busy interesection and has a QSR client who likes the location, but does not want to do a ground lease, only a build to suit. 

Do you or most landlords comply with the city ordinance to get their properties inspected & registered by the city?

I sold an apartment building and as I lived in the building was always there when my realtor showed it to prospective buyers. 

Many of our borrowers/clients have one LLC that owns the building and another than own the operating business.

Real estate investing can be an effective way to build long-term wealth, and among the various strategies, one has gained significant popularity over the years: BRRRR.

Since you said you are selling your building I’d argue you already have been a real estate investor.

Are inspections needed before and after the work?
