Looking 4 inspectors/property mgr/input on closing 1st duplex!

[Andrea E.]

Hi there!

So the sellers accepted my offer!! This is my first home, and first multi unit property!!! 

The short of it is that I am looking for inspectors for mold and sewer pipes for sure, and am contemplating adding in asbestos, lead and an energy audit. The home was built in 1958 and it is very important to me to (slowly) renovate this place to be eco-friendly and energy efficient before I'm done with it. I am also interested in looking into a property manager, or getting your input as to whether that is necessary. I am looking to close ASAP, so if you know inspectors who can come out tomorrow (yes, Memorial day), I would love you forever. I'll already be there in the morning with the home/termite inspector. 

If you can offer up referrals based on the above info, post below. If you want more info before posting, keep reading.

It is a duplex in 70118 (Leonidas), and has a converted shed in the back with a kitchen and bath. However, the shed has been used as a tool shed for awhile, so it will need a full renovation. The two main units of the house look great, but just dated enough that I have a lot of potential in increasing the value with minor updates. The owner side is a 3/1 with w/d and the rental side is a 2/1. It will need some subfloor repair in a couple of areas, and the enclosed porch in the back of the rental side does not have a permit. I'll be working to get one for it. 

Any advice as I move forward? They accepted the offer today, so I'm trying to stay on top of everything. If I am living in the owner side, is a property manager necessary? 

Thanks so much!
