Investor’s Inspection in Edmonton and Area

When you are buying an investment property, the difference between a solid deal and an expensive surprise often comes down to the condition of a few critical systems. While cosmetic updates are expected, unexpected issues with the roof, structure, foundation, mechanical equipment, or electrical service can quickly change your numbers. An Investor Inspection is designed to give you a focused, professional overview of these higher-risk areas, helping you budget more accurately and make informed decisions without paying for a full inspection scope you may not need.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for rental and flip decisions

Investors usually already have a renovation plan. What you need is a practical read on the “bones” and major systems so you can budget, schedule, and negotiate with more confidence.

Intent to rent (long-term or short-term)
Flip or value-add renovations
Fast purchase decisions where you want big-ticket clarity

Good to know

This is a limited-scope inspection by design.

It is intended to cover key risk areas without the depth of a full home inspection. If you want a more comprehensive, room-by-room assessment, ask us about a full Buyer’s Inspection.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

The Investor’s 5-Point Inspection

We focus on five categories that commonly create major repair costs or timeline surprises.

1) Roof and attic

Condition indicators, visible defects, and moisture or ventilation red flags as access allows.

2) Structure

Visible signs of movement, framing concerns, and issues that can affect function or durability.

3) Foundation

Cracks, water entry indicators, and other visible conditions that may affect long-term performance.

4) Mechanical

Key equipment such as the furnace and water heater, with practical notes on condition and risk.

5) Electrical service and panel

Service and panel condition, visible safety concerns, and indicators that upgrades may be needed.

Want add-ons?

Ask about sewer line inspections, WETT inspections, and other services that can reduce deal risk.

Every inspection includes detailed documentation, photos, and recommendations so you can move forward with confidence.

One great feature of the report is the Repair Request Builder. This allows you to extract portions of your report and create a smaller, concise, highly customizable report that you can include in documents for the seller, in an email to a contractor, or on your to-do list.
