Am I shooting myself in the foot by requiring an inspection before purchasing the property or are the other investors being careless in not getting an inspection done?

However, do not leave your job and try to dive directly into RE investing... you will just be shooting yourself in the foot because getting money is so much easier when you have a day job vs. trying to live off the cash flow of each property you purchase.My advice...

Some jurisdictions require all foundations and footings be removed while others don’t.  

Most busy professionals have limiting beliefs and negative internal dialogue that keeps them from taking calculated risks, dedicating time, and generating results.One foot in front of the other!

Neither of them are listed for sale, but they recently got to the point where plywood was put up over the remaining windows.They are obviously not something that's going to be 'flipped' as the building in the back has a 2 foot hole in the roof and there are obvious signs of structural fatigue.
