MultiFamily Building Inspections
Experience means a lot when you are selecting a multifamily building inspector. Given the complexity and sheer volume of the structural and mechanical elements in a multifamily apartment or condo building, the inspector must be able to quickly and reliably target the areas that need the most attention, allowing the investor to calculate his near, mid and long-term costs. Many times, issues like mold, asbestos and carbon monoxide threats are of the utmost importance to the investor as he conducts his due diligence for a particular building. Not all inspectors are equiped to identify these and other hazards. Ken has inspected many apartment complexes in Austin and Central Texas.
