re: First time home buyer

Is the house brand new? If not, hire a reputable roofer to inspect the roof, and maybe an electrician to look at the electrical system. You can't always rely on home inspectors to do an adequate job. Have you seen the house after a heavy rainstorm to see if the water drains away and doesn't pool against the house? It's times like this that it pays to have a friend or relative who is a general contractor. Good luck.
