With investment property, most of the money is made at the purchase. A good investor may look at dozens of properties before the right deal presents itself. Make sure your purchase is the right one with no budget busting surprises.

I develop relationships with investors to understand their needs and investment style. Together, we can tailor the inspection to match your plans for the property. Let me be your regular consultant and second set of eyes.

Even though you are buying a new home, it can still have defects. City inspectors only look for code violations and your builder may not be in business when a problem arises. Have all of your visible defects resolved before you close and avoid the stress of negotiating repairs with your builder after he has been paid.

Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless radioactive gas. It moves from the soil to your home through holes and cracks in your foundation. According to estimates, radon may be the leading source of lung cancer among non-smokers. Nearly 1 in 15 homes in the U.S. has elevated radon levels. Testing is the only way to know the radon level in your home.
