I plan to get an inspection to check on this.I'm still looking into what utilities I might have to pay.If owner financing is not an option I have some cash set aside that I could use for a down payment on a conventional loan or personal loan.

Actually, I just purchased the property and am now doing a few upgrades for the inspection prior to renting it out, so for the moment snow removal is my responsibility.

Can an inspector use this to inspect the roofs and gutters instead of climbing up there?

Be a little more aggressive to light a fire under the closer. :)

I also ask for the turn key co's inspection report and compare the two.You would need to do some due diligence on the turn key company though.

You will find plenty of good information in the Learn section, such as inspection forms and cost control information.

I've been researching this recently as found out my PM rented to tenants with a mixed breed, only to inspect the property and find out it was a rottweiler, so now I'm worried about my insurance.

A PUD (Planned Unit Development) could be attached (similar to a duplex) or detached (like a SFR, but often smaller or closer together).

My budget is up to 200k at the extreme, though likely closer to 175.More about myself.

We would then like to purchase another MFH (ideally 4 unit) within a year of our duplex purchase, and I anticipate that purchase being closer $300k (though hopefully less).We have $30k available for down payment and closing costs, because we were initially planning to put 10% down on a SFH in the $250k range.
