Getting ready for the section 8 inspection

Hi,

I'm an out of state investor looking to buy in Akron and Cleveland, and I'm looking for help with getting my properties ready for the move in inspection. Since I am not in the same state, what are some ways I can get my property ready for a tenant? I have access to the checklist that the housing authority provides when doing the inspection, but I don't have anyone to do an initial inspection so I can fix any issues that might come up before the inspection by the housing authority.

Any ideas on how to get around this? Would love the help!

Thanks!

Zero effort put into this post this morning I see...honestly this is common sense and I'm going to put in as much effort into answering as you did in posting

1) Home Inspectors

2) Property managers 

3) Contractors

Talk with a bunch of them. Get recommendations. Even better if they specialize or manage a bunch of section 8 properties and are familiar with the code/inspection.
