Investor Property Inspections in Stanislaus & Merced County

Professional Inspections for Real Estate Investors

Owning rental or investment properties can be profitable — but only when you fully understand the condition of the property. At Eagle One Home Inspections, we provide certified, unbiased property inspections specifically designed for real estate investors across Stanislaus County and the Central Valley. Whether you're purchasing a single-family home, managing a multi-unit portfolio, or evaluating a potential flip, we give you the clear, actionable insight you need to protect your investment.



Our investor inspections are performed by Rich, a certified home inspector with over 20 years of experience. With deep knowledge of local construction types, aging patterns, and common regional issues, Rich provides straightforward evaluations that help investors reduce risk, negotiate better, and plan ahead.

Why Investor Inspections Matter

Real estate is one of the most capital-intensive investments you can make. Without a thorough inspection, even a seemingly solid property can turn into a financial liability due to hidden structural problems, faulty systems, or code violations.



Investor inspections are different from standard pre-purchase inspections. While they still include a complete review of the property’s condition, they’re tailored to help landlords, developers, and flippers assess the true scope of work and long-term costs. We identify not only what’s broken but what may need attention in the next few years — information that’s crucial when budgeting for renovations or planning rent-ready improvements.

What’s Included in Our Investor Inspections

Eagle One’s investor property inspections include a full evaluation of all accessible and visible systems and components:

  • Roofing, gutters, visible flashing, attic condition
  • Foundation, grading, drainage, crawlspaces, and subflooring
  • Plumbing — visible supply lines, drains, water heaters, and fixtures
  • Electrical systems — panels, outlets, GFCI function, visible wiring
  • HVAC systems — heating, air conditioning, thermostats, and ductwork
  • Windows, doors, locks, and entryways
  • Kitchen and bath — appliances, cabinetry, sinks, and tilework
  • Safety features — smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, railings
  • Interior — walls, ceilings, flooring, moisture damage, and more
  • Exterior — siding, trim, walkways, fences, porches, and grading

All findings are compiled in a clear, itemized digital report delivered within 24-48 hours. High-resolution photos accompany areas of concern, and every report includes:

  • Priority issues and safety hazards
  • Deferred maintenance items
  • Recommended repairs or upgrades

Ideal For All Types of Investors

Our inspection services are used by a wide range of real estate professionals, including:

First-Time Property Investors

If you’re buying your first investment property, a detailed inspection helps you make a smart entry into the market. We walk you through the findings and explain them in plain terms, helping you avoid common first-time mistakes.

Landlords and Rental Property Owners

For current landlords, periodic inspections can help identify ongoing wear and tear, safety hazards, and deferred maintenance before they escalate. This is especially helpful for long-term tenant turnover or pre-renovation planning.

Real Estate Flippers and Developers

Before you invest in renovations, you need a clear sense of the home’s structural health and system integrity. Our inspections highlight the essential versus cosmetic repairs, helping you prioritize updates and control costs.

Property Managers

If you manage multiple properties, regular inspections support tenant safety, code compliance, and proactive maintenance scheduling. We also document findings for your records.

What Sets Eagle One Apart

Investors need information — not vague checklists or boilerplate reports. Eagle One Home Inspections provides reports that are designed for business decisions. Here’s what makes us different:

  • Inspector-Owned, Not Franchise-Based
    Rich handles every inspection himself. You’re working with the owner, not a rotating list of contractors.
  • Investor-Focused Knowledge
    We understand how to evaluate long-term value, renovation potential, and deferred maintenance from an investment perspective.
  • No Conflicts of Interest
    We don’t offer repairs or work with contractors. That means our findings are 100% independent and focused on protecting your bottom line.
  • Local Market Experience
    With inspections across Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, and beyond, we know what issues commonly affect Central Valley homes — and what to watch for in older builds, rentals, or distressed properties.

Optional Third-Party Services

We coordinate with licensed third-party specialists for investors who need additional inspections or certifications, including:

  • Termite and pest inspections
  • Roof certification reports
  • Chimney and fireplace evaluations
  • Pool/spa condition reports
  • Septic and well system inspections
  • HVAC load testing or advanced diagnostics

These optional services help provide a complete evaluation of high-liability areas often overlooked in basic walk-throughs.
