You could also ask if you could do your inspection prior to going under contract and then make an offer without the inspection contingency. 

We had our 3-year township CO inspection today and were told that we need to have smoke / CO detectors that alerted both sixes of a duplex property. 

It went through a full inspection and there were minor repairs ($1500) - in retrospect, the inspector missed some things. 

I have done several independent septic inspections.

The last thing you want to do is put a deal in a contract pay money for inspection and get an appraisal when you could have just ruled it out from the start with that.

In addition to doing regular inspections as soon as someone gives notice due and immediate inspection to determine if the unit is being kept up decent or if you need to plan on some repairs before it is turned.

Typically the condo association should be called to get in the unit and inspect the issue.

Plus any miscellaneous payments such as interest, inspections, etc.

A home inspection produced 50 issues that needed attention.

A few things to keep in mind:Section 8 requires the property to pass an inspection based on HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (basically making sure it’s safe and well-maintained).The rent you charge has to align with Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in your area, so it’s good to check what similar properties are renting for.You’ll still be responsible for maintaining the property, but the upside is that a chunk of the rent is guaranteed by the government, which can provide steady income.Check with the local housing authority about any specifics for your area—every jurisdiction does things a little differently.This could be a great niche if you can find a good deal on the land and make sure your expenses (like maintenance, insurance, and occasional vacancies) are covered by the rental income.
