Welcome, Little bit about me, I have been inspecting properties for 3 years, I am BPI Energy Auditor certified, Internachi Building inspector certified, Leased residential homes for 2 years with Renters Warehouse, held a real estate license for 3 years, did 3 years of residential HVAC work, hold a residential HVAC diploma and EPA certifications. 

Hey BP,Contingent on a Chicago area property that’s in need of pretty major lead remediation before the city will allow tenants to occupy a couple of the units.City health inspectors have been through the structure twice and have issued an exhaustive list of items that must be fixed, including suggested methods for remediation.Closing is contingent on these items being handled by a licensed remediation/restoration firm, or at the very least having the work quoted in order to obtain a credit from the seller.So, can anyone recommend a well reviewed/reputable, licensed lead remediation firm in the Chicago area?

The inspector said there was likely some structural work that needs to be done in both as the floors are very uneven.

I'm a new landlord in Indianapolis and looking for a good contractor to deal with HVAC issues.

Soon I’ll be working on getting my CA license and my husband is going to get his Home Inspectors certification.How do you like commercial real estate investing?

Most people I work with live in primary markets (as opposed to Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets) where the Rent-to-Value Ratios are under 1%.

Ask for her report and then maybe get another inspector or third party involved if she really needs more proof.

@Stephen Kleyn ok first i had been an installer in Indianapolis for my company for 5 years and had a solid 5 star rating on all my platforms before I took a job selling for someone else a little while back.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

Hi All,  I am in the process of getting my first SFH under contract in Lancaster, TX , could anyone recommend a good inspector in the area ?
