I currently have two duplexes in my portfolio so I'm aware of the inspections in that situation, but not sure what additional inspections I should have done.

Unfortunately, my current employment will not cover the additional properties but with the tenants' rent I could pay for all said expenses.

Additionally, I spoke with a broker last week about multifamily trends in the canton, OH and the surrounding area and he said trends show average price points around $35k-$40k for market properties, so maybe you can find distressed product around $25k a door? 

I am retired and looking to flip houses for additional income.

@James ManessAnother option is to open a self-directed solo 401k if you are self-employed and process the transaction and a solo 401k is generally not subject to UDFI. 

Additionally, I like the lower down payment with FHA/THDA, especially if you have 3 other people paying down the note.  

Any additional advice or recommendations are appreciated!

I'm currently full time employed in the military.  

A third party will force an additional layer of accountability and precision vs. one person doing it themselves.

Just want to verify this info with you all local professional investors.In addition, are there any property tax discount programs created by the city or state available to incentivize investors to invest in philly, just curious to know as well.
