Of course use an experienced inspector with that as a way to delete your contract.

I enjoy construction but its now time to do it for myself, own the risk, and invest in real estate full time.

inspectors , title , agents

Always always always get a home inspector to look at the property.

BP,     My wife and I are going through our inspection report for a two family we have an accepted offer on and the inspector noticed that there are black soot like heat streaks staining above the baseboard heat in the bedroom and living room of rental unit. 

I was a General Contractor back in the 00’s Specializing in Handyman type and small construction (Kitchen and Bathroom’s, Fences and Decks).

Since we are a combination contractor/real estate investment company the construction side isnt making money on this so if you have to pay a contractor you're looking at almost double that.

Hi all,About to do my first steps in the rental investments.I found 2 property I'm thinking of buying.As I'm living abroad, I thought of using a local home inspector to check the properties.Any recommended in the area of south Euclid?

And independently verify their information with your own inspectors, appraisers and get your own financing. 

For Multi-Family properties, depending on if the property has been separately metered for all utilities or not, wouldn’t it make sense to have the property metered separately if the home was constructed from being a SFH to a Triplex?
