Also, be careful where in Beacon you buy as there are some rougher neighborhoods.I have a recommendation on a home inspector who typically I use.  

Code inspector wanted more fire-rated materials then we thought we needed. 

I worry that the tenant won't open the door, and I'll waste my inspector's time.

Did you have an inspector take a look at the property or any of the other steps that are often taken when purchasing a property?

If you are an investor, kindly PM me good references to home inspectors that I could talk to, line up and have on my speed dial so that I can reach out to them to do the inspection within the necessary 24 hours.

What happens when the inspector gets in there and sees the foundation is crumbling? 

Ive taken everything into consideration and prepared for the worst.There was a huge variance in observations from the inspector to contractor.

Look at the building condition and DEFINITELY have it inspected by a RE Inspector, as to condition, etc. 

Not to mention the permits and the city inspectors putting their two cents in everytime they drove by.

You need a great lender, insurance company, inspector, contractor, title company and real estate attorney.
