Consider periodic inspections. 

There are a couple of DIY cost segregation companies that provide you a questionnaire to complete to generate your report.I normally recommend a home inspection and appraisal in hand when completing the questionnaire.The completion of the study is instant.Best of luck.

You won't get to inspect the property before buying it.

It passed muster upon close inspection from their entity formation team.

I always do current home inspections to see how they live today and if I can't (e.g. they're moving in from out of town) I'm probably not going to rent to them.  

Not every state or city mandates that any landlord has to accept Section 8, because the landlord has to not only subject their property to Section 8 inspections, rules and regulations, they also often have to separately arrange for the tenant to pay the non-covered part of the rent and can face difficulty evicting just based on that.

I have to close, apply for a conditional use verification, get inspection ( requiring wired smoke detectors, other safety features) and get a business license.

If a landlord needs to enter a property for an inspection or repair, a two-day notice is required.Our Governor passed anti-squatting legislation a few months ago which allows owners to have the police remove them as opposed to before where it was considered a legal issue for attorney's to deal with.

Would love to hear how much these inspections are costing and who people are using.

There are not a lot that will do it without an appraisal or BPO Kiavi does a virtual inspection.
