You are better off getting a structural engineer report and getting a local contractor or someone that at least deals with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC issues on a daily basis to walk through the rest.


Just recently sold my house. The buyers took the report and asked for $4000 in repairs. Had my own electrician, HVAC guy, etc come in and was able to fix the necessary items for $150. Everything else was fine.

It almost cost me the sale of the house because their inspector was not knowledgable and made assumptions about things he either didn't know or didn't research.

I know this is different since you are buying rather than selling, but I won't be using an inspector on the next house I buy. I'll spend the extra money to get licensed guys for areas of concern.

I'm really considering getting into this as a side gig.
