A multi-unit investment property purchase can be a source of long-term financial security. A multifamily inspection is necessary to aid you in decision-making and negotiations during your investment property purchase. A comprehensive building inspection identifies defects or issues and can spare you unexpected and costly repairs.

- Knowing the complete condition of all major systems of the building
- Decreased maintenance and repair surprises
Our Multifamily Investment Property Inspection Includes the Following:
- Mechanical Inspections – Mechanical inspections consist of inspecting the systems that comfort your tenants. Those systems include plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioners or HVAC systems. These systems can be costly to replace and can take up a significant portion of your repair and maintenance budgets if they are in poor shape.
- Roofs – The roof of any building is essential to a solid investment property. Replacing roofs can be one of your biggest replacement items and can make a big difference in your insurance coverage. Ensure you know how much life is left on the roof and if the end of its useful life is approaching.
- Foundations – Solid foundations can make or break your investment. Problems can be hard to spot and easy to cover up. Foundations on older buildings, in particular, can be very costly to repair or replace.
- Unit Inspections – Walking through each unit is critical in determining your tenants' property condition and quality. With California's new Rent Control laws, you want to be sure you are not inheriting problematic tenants with which you will be stuck. We recommend inspecting each and every unit's interior.
- Inspection Report - Armed with a comprehensive, detailed investment property inspection report, you can be assured that you know the exact condition of the property before you move forward with your investment.
- Consultation - A consultation with the inspector is always included with every inspection in case you have any questions or concerns regarding your inspection.
