Do you inspect duplexes and small rental properties for investors?

Yes, we inspect duplexes and small multifamily properties throughout Minnesota and Iowa, and investor inspections are a service we've built specifically around how rental buyers actually make decisions. A duplex inspection covers everything a single-family inspection does, multiplied by the units: each kitchen, bath, furnace or shared heating plant, electrical panel and service, plumbing stack, and entrance gets evaluated, along with the shared roof, foundation, exterior, and mechanical spaces. For investors, we pay particular attention to the items that drive operating budgets and habitability obligations: heating systems and their age, since replacing a boiler serving both units is a major capital event; electrical capacity and safety, common trouble in the older Twin Cities and Mankato duplex stock, much of which started as single homes and was converted; moisture and ventilation issues that turn into tenant complaints; and separate-versus-shared utility metering questions worth knowing before you set rents. Many of these buildings are century homes, so foundations, old wiring remnants, and layered renovations get the full older-home treatment, with thermal imaging available as an add-on. Your report, delivered within 24 hours, works as a capital-planning document: what needs attention before tenants move in, and what to budget over the hold. Radon testing and sewer scoping are smart add-ons on older rental stock. To schedule, call us or use the free instant quote tool below.
