Where I am at the city inspector will call you and schedule a time to go through the property and do an inspection. 

The typical Team members are Attornies, real estate Agents, a CPA ( or tax accountant), Inspectors, General Contractors, and Handymen.

I'm a trained machinist (if any of you software geeks even know what that means :-P) a qualified inspector, and have a BS in Mechanical Engineering.

I have a few questions  that I haven't been able to get any clear answers. 1. with repairs, when looking at an investment property, how have you learned to know what needs to be repaired or do you have an inspector go to every property your interested in and give a rough quote without charging? 

On the complaint, the inspector cites that the complaint was not valid and then cites an "MIS" case number.  

Obviously all to be verified by an Inspector!

The violations aren't an issue for me, I have architectural background, the basement from what I see is already pretty bare, at most I might have to take out the bathroom still in the basement, file papers with the DOB and get an inspector in to look at the place.

Have you had the property inspected yet, and did your inspector find any signs of previous water damage? 

Bank owned without utilities can be riskier in the Winter because inspector cannot test utilities or water and that could be massive risk if it's turned off.

I am looking for a recommendation for a good home inspector in the Saylorsburg, PA area (Monroe County).Thank you.
