Im looking to purchase a group of duplexes that include 10 units on 2 acres and need someone to complete inspections and evaluation of conditions and potential repairs, does anyone have someone to refer in SE Michigan that could do this within the next 2 weeks? 

My cash is tied up for next few months, and house needs a lot of repairs as well.

Also, do you have enough money stored aside right now, or at least have access to loan funds post-closing for any updates or repairs?

Most people will tell you to plan for 10% in repairs, 10% capital expenditures, and 10% vacancy.

I discovered the pet while doing repairs last Friday.

That takes my cash flow from $4.30 to $200.18, (of course after cap ex, vacancy, repairs, property management, P&I). 

Not a huge deal, however, if there was any sign of it I would have to pay an engineer to come out to recommend repairs....(...$$).

You have a lot more work with a vacation rental... coordinating the renters, the cleaning company, and there are more maintenance and repairs due to the high volume of people.  

From day one the tenant has screamed at me over the phone that the repairs are insufficient. every time I make a repair he comes up with a new issue.
