Spot on idea Christina G..  

I did mine through Moseley & their online practice exams were spot on.Welcome to the site!

I am currently working on a condo where moisture got in, walls looked ok and after closing we detected mold crawling and spreading in the back of the walls 4ft high!

agree not a drop in rental prices, but perhaps a drop in rental income due to increased vacancy (physical and/or economic), depending on the quality of the neighborhood and ability to attract and spot (through tenant screening) quality tenants ...

@Kevin K is spot on about why you should get an Architect.

You are wiser than you probably realize by spotting early on that a few hundred bucks a month in cashflow is not going to make you rich ... so many newbies dream of stacking up 50 units at $200/mo cashflow and think that that is how they will strike it rich ... even if that works, sounds like an incredible PIA to me.

There is a gutter missing, needs new screens on the windows and a new post outside and like I mentioned some mildew on the ceiling in the master bathroom and a leak spot on the first floor ceiling beneath the master bathroom.I dont think I will continue with this property.

You can use just a sealer but that has less UV protection, on the other hand you can't tell if you missed a spot.
