I have a duplex not on the market and will sell it to you for 75k turn key management in place, producing $1200 a month, $600 year taxes, $900 year insurance, no lawn care needed, fridge 2 year waranty with lowes stove 2 year warranty with lowes for both units less headaches plumbing and electrical is upgraded.

Nothing significant as the major plumbing work had already been taken care of. 

I am unable to inspect the property myself due to work commitments etc so I was seeking advice on a company or type of service that I can have perform a thorough inspection on the property (foundations/plumbing/wiring/roofing) etc to protect myself from major costs later down the track and for my own piece of mind?

Also related question: When an offer gets accepted, would you always suggest bringing in a professional inspector to look for high ticket items like plumbing, electricity, gas, etc?

We spent $35k on our rehab and replaced the hvac, flooring, fixed plumbing leaks etc. but we didn't touch the roof (it is about halfway through its' lifespan) so while I feel it is fair for us to offer to negotiate on that, are we conceding too much by offering to negotiate repairs?

Hi Aryelle, I agree with the bank that you need to know if it is major (i.e. roof, plumbing) or minor (cosmetic) repairs, before you do anything.

Currently updating the plumbing in kitchen & bath.

I have some construction experience though most of it is related to plumbing in high rises and pipefitting in natural gas and oil refineries.

Brett Snodgrass I am currently redoing all the plumbing.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes 5:30 - 6 AM - you will find every tradesman you need - all you have to do is ask questions - you find them there because this is where the get material for their jobs - they look like workman - drive pickup trucks and are busy load drywall, 2x4's and plumbing stuff in their vehicles.
