Again, that is completely up to your inspection and what you or the inspector finds.

Don't put all your faith in a inspector your using for the 1st time.

So I always suggest to people with illegal in-laws- either legalize it, and get the added value of the legal space, or tear the kitchen out quietly on a Sunday, when inspectors aren’t around.

After reading this thread, I'm reminded that - especially for those people that are new - hiring a good, reputable home inspector prior to closing is ALWAYS money well spent.

I like these areas over larger hot areas with great numbers (like indianapolis, columbus) because I like the idea of starting in a smaller area.

In my relative short time on BP, I've found it to be extremely useful and beneficial to set keyword search alerts for "Indianapolis" and you'll start to see who the main players in the Indianapolis market are and a good way to identify potential individuals you may want to further connect with.  

We asked the police to keep watch for drug use and there is a no trespassing sign.This lot is in Indianapolis, IN and I want to know if something happens to a child playing while entering the land or if someone ODs (praying this doesn’t happen) what our liability is!?

The inspector can tell you what the issues are.

In no particular order I have listed some of the most popular markets for out of state investors•Cleveland, Ohio•Dayton, Ohio•Toledo, Ohio•Youngstown, Ohio•Cincinnati, Ohio•Memphis, Tennessee•Birmingham, Alabama•Kansas City, Missouri•Saint Louis, Missouri•Indianapolis, Indiana•Detroit, Michigan•Erie, Pennsylvania•Louisville, Kentucky•Milwaukee, Wisconsin•Jackson, MississippiEach of these markets is popular with turnkey investors because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand & high rent to price ratio.

For example, “Columbus” or “Indianapolis.”
