They are not trained home inspectors.

There are inspectors, appraisers, underwriters, loan officers, processors, multiple realtors, brokers, neighbors, title company reps, underwriters, association boards and property managers.

First step is talking to your planning department/building inspector.

Changing zoning increases revenue for Buildings Department (inspectors and such) in conjunction with zoning people (all ties into fees, etc., and last (but certainly not least) your alderman's re-election campaign committee.

Do they have inspectors, contractors, and other industry professionals available to assist clients?)

I don’t know if it went into effect for single families yet but for multifamily there is an inspection once a year to be a licensed rental ($75 plus the cost of whatever repairs the inspector deems necessary to maintain your license).

You are required to use THEIR inspectors for every property you put an offer on ($500+ per inspection non-refundable) and since they’re a national lender, they had no local knowledge of financing benefits.

I think ultimately finding the state to invest in will be up to you and your research, but once you find areas that have numbers pencil out, I would do some serious due diligence on creating a potential team (Broker, Contractor, Inspectors etc.)

The county inspector came out and would not approve the final as both electrical and plumbing permits were required.So now I'm in a position where my new house (that I currently live in) has an open permit that failed inspection and electrical/plumbing violations. 

I'm looking specifically for:-  Inspector(s) referral- Contractor(s) referral- Property Management referral- Licensed Electrician referral- Broker/Agent (who works regularly with investors)As many who have invested from afar know, trust is everything, and I would prefer to start with recommendations from the BP community than good old Google.Thank you all!
