My first few inspections were helpful to help understand building systems and routine maintenance schedules (don’t have to worry about that stuff when you’re a renter.)Sadly inspections afterward, for investment properties, only turn up obvious items that’s hard to miss if you personally walk the property looking in the nooks and crannies.Rot, poor wiring, improper framing, water leaks, etc that are behind the walls is when I’ve gotten into trouble.

There's no electricity and no running water I believe; she doesn't know for sure about the water but doesn't think so; she uses diapers and urinates in bottles which I saw in various places throughout the home.
