    Hi all,

    I need some advice on how to approach this. If I can not inspect a property personally because of one reason or another, is it enough to have it inspected by a building inspector, pest inspector and a valuer?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Arnaldo

    Hi Arnaldo,

    I always like to inspect properties myself. Not only to see the property itself, but also the location, neighbourhood, and get a feel for the area. I also like to have a chat to the neighbours if possible, and the existing tennant. It is amazing what they will tell you sometimes!

    But if I had found a property that met my investment criteria, and I knew the area, I would probably be happy to rely on the pest and building inspector. It would also help if I knew, and had used the pest an building inspector before and was confident in their quality of work.

    Cheers, and happy investing

    Hi Arnaldo,
    Maybe you could name a State & a Suburb and some nice investor might offer to go & check it out for you.I know I would.

    Happy Hunting. Sue.
