Tons of inspectors use these as their “shortcut” or as a type of checklist for common violations.

Any agent can pull comps from the MLS, or fill out paperwork, or recommend a good property inspector.

It looks like I have everything to lose in this adventure.Therefore I have done some prophase research in targeted markets, I have contacted several people in some markets, inspector, realtor, property manager, RE attorney...But so far I haven't found a way to make professionals become trustworthy people for my success. 

But I can finance it, get my inspector in the house, and get a 16% coc return.  

I feel happy finding properties and getting them checked over by my contractor and then home inspector to confirm everything.We have a great property manager and I do feel a good system now in place to keep growing.If you want any advise this is the best place.

The Inspector said I would need to have a structural engineer do a report on it, to make sure it is still sound or do the needed remediation.  

A home inspector may also be able to help you. :)

I am wondering if there are any commercial brokers out there who routinely use a company/inspector to provide ADA compliance reports for their buyers/sellers...more specifically, in Arizona. 

City Inspector walking by and seeing chipped paint outside can ruin your year.

I beleive that the inspector should have caught this issue and should be liable for my repair costs.
