Inspection on as-is property?

[Zlatan Varmaz]

Hi,

I just purchased my first investment! :) this was an off market as-is property that needs a lot of work. My question is, should I get an inspection prior to starting any work on the property to kind of see where I stand? The plan is to fix the property and get it rent ready.

Also any recommendations for inspectors in the St. Louis county area are appreciated!

Thanks

Z
