More units means more systems and more potential problems. Get a thorough inspection of every unit and the building as a whole before you buy.
Duplexes, triplexes, and small multi-unit buildings can be excellent investments — or expensive lessons. With multiple kitchens, bathrooms, water heaters, electrical services, and heating and cooling systems, there’s simply more that can go wrong.
A multi-family inspection covers each individual unit as well as the shared and separate systems and the building as a whole — roof, structure and foundation, exterior, plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling.
Every inspection is performed personally by Darryl Willoughby, a Kentucky licensed home inspector (#HI-2038) and ASHI member with 20 years of experience and more than 12 years as a custom home builder. You’ll receive a detailed digital report with photos to guide your offer and repair planning.
Here are the key areas Darryl evaluates on multi-family properties.
Interior components, fixtures, and appliances in every accessible unit.
Roof covering, flashing, gutters, siding, windows, doors, and drainage for the building.
Foundation, framing, basement or crawlspace, and signs of movement or moisture.
Plumbing, water heaters, electrical services, and heating and cooling — shared or per unit.
A problem in a multi-family building rarely stays in one place. A roof leak, plumbing issue, or electrical concern can affect multiple units and multiple tenants at once — and the cost to correct it multiplies with every unit.
A thorough inspection gives you the information to price your offer, negotiate repairs, and plan capital improvements with confidence. It also helps you identify safety concerns that matter for your tenants.
Darryl’s background as a builder helps investors understand not just what’s wrong, but what it may take to set it right.
