Here's an agency in your area that I recommend:Rezin and Christi Howes - Integrity Insurance (in St.

Your inspector will look for structural integrity issues, life safety issues/fire hazards and inspect your MEP Systems to make sure Electrical panel, wiring, piping, hot water heater & HVAC systems are acceptable/good working condition.Roof/Crawlspace/Attic InspectionsIf you are afraid of heights and don't want to get on the roof, crawl around in a dirty creepy crawl space or climb around in a haunted attic, an inspector can inspect these areas.  

This more a time and integrity decision than a commission vs cost one.

Second, after I've integrated into my career and have really established myself, I want to begin to invest in real estate as well.

For my first couple of deals, I was dishonest and lacked any sort of integrity.

The third party leasing companies are able to leverage economies of scale/ bulk buying power on equipment / vertical integration to drive costs down such that they can install solar cheaply enough that they will be making money on the system very quickly if not immediately (by selling the tax credits to banks/investors/tax equity funds and by selling energy back to the grid at a premium) .

They are ever expanding their API integrations with other programs, so that is nice to see.

And you'll probably want to use a CRM like hubspot integrated with an email service like mailchimp to keep in touch with prospective buyers and sellers.

If you decide to move forward with it, and want the tank removed, I know someone who specializes in tanks that may affect structural integrity. 

Personally, Integrity, Track record, Conservative culture, and Interests alignment are key when selecting a firm to invest with.You NEED to feel great about investing with a certain company, you need to feel that you can actually trust them and sleep well at night knowing that not only do you believe in the product you invested in, but the people behind it.
