The house went through a full inspection with some minor repairs costing $1500.

We plan to do a lead inspection first but just want to get a general idea of how much it will cost before purchasing this property.Thanks in advance,Ann

In a dream world - the comprehensive solution does all this: *task management and sequencing where you can drop a property into a sequence ie day 1 call, day 2 mailer (have it automatically mail out something like a postcard) day 3 etc etc etc*project management outside of the outreach sequences for what's next in the process ie schedule inspection, send the contract, etc etc*ability to have multiple users drive around and if you see a property you can tag an address and add it into a marketing sequence, and also track the streets you've hit so you're not wasting time driving by the same houses more than once *dialer (ability to parallel dial numerous numbers simultaneously to make cold calling more efficient - Ive used tools like orum and kixie in other industries, and when you receive a pickup, the other calls are dropped) *skip tracing/data provider *website landing page for converting online visitors to leads*electronic signature/docusign*secondary branded landing site on different URL for blasts for deal disposition to your buyer listWhat am I missing? 

If you did not do independent appraisal and inspection, you experience what 170+ investors experienced.

Will be far easier to purchase more property with 10% downpayments vs 20-25% for each one.Umbrella insurance isn't too expensive, $2M for $1200 per year.Just be sure to run the properties as a good business, address any concerns brought up by the insurance company (they usually do annual inspections). 

We even agree that the employer can come inspect that location for certain things if they choose.

The agent can also recommend professionals to help you assess your costs before you offer or during an inspection contingency.

Based on personal experience, I would add assuring the lender is specifically authorized to perform an on-sight property inspection, at the lender's discretion / convenience. 

Many companies charge lower initial fees which makes it easier to attract new owners but then charge inspection fees, after hours fees, fees for additional services etc.

You can also schedule inspections in advance.
