After growing an interest in real estate, I found myself at a company called Cleveland Cash Flow.At Cleveland Cash Flow I am a part of the Acquisitions Team.

As a buyer, would you require an inspection of such homes?

I understand someone house hacking when they have a guest house or basement apartment with a separate entrance.I just want to make sure you have thought this through before pulling the trigger on this.

A few: Sort of the same with an agent. make contact, See the property, make offer, in writing, include contingencies (sale of your house, approval of all inspections, getting appropriate funding, etc) come to possible agreement on price, have all wanted inspections done (maybe including termite, septic field, sewage lines, etc) read and understand papers possibly from the title company (when I sold mine, I used paperwork provided by the title company).

I used to work for a guru in the apartment investing space, I learned a lot and we became good friends. 

Honestly it varies neighborhood to neighborhood and the types of properties you are loooking at, eg: a sfh vs a 10 unit apartment building. 

It's an amazing business and probably why everybody and their brother is looking for apartment deals. 

Before these tenants stopped paying their rent, I secured replacement tenants for their apartment who are scheduled to move in a week after the current tenants were originally going to leave.

My rental property manager leased an apartment to a lady who at the time had no pets. 

One of my most favorite things to do is show an apartment after I have spent all that time and hard work on it.
