Maybe I need to study your story a little closer and figure out how to get myself into that same spot...

During inspection, it was learned that there was  a fire at some point in basement.

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

I recently used a structural engineer to do a visual inspection of one of my single family rentals. 

Knowing about construction, how to pick a good inspector and read inspection reports will save you a lot of headache/money -  it's difficult to invest in RE just by doing things online.

So I am not in a place to buy multiple properties in support for airbnb, not yet, more so closer to the end of next year.

@Richard Schubert are you having these professionally inspected before you buy them?

To do so, I need an initial team who can cover the following aspects of these projects:- Wholesaler- Contractor (Inspection oriented)- Equity Partners (Project Incentives)Once the deals are in place, the financing support will be through personal capital for upfront costs, with the intention to raise private capital and include hard-money lenders as-needed.

Some lenders charge 5% released upon C/O, others release once that particular line item is approved by local inspection agency.

Take your inspection checklist and have the contractor complete the work he's already been paid for, make that part of the mediation.2.
