another thing is go in attic and look around, often you find holes left that wont let water in but birds and whatnot (think bats and squirrels) still have openings to enter your attic and move in
This. First year I was putting up Christmas lights I noticed 2” gaps underneath the soffits where the roof and brick intersect on an angle. Kind of hard to explain. Anyway, I put spray foam in there, let it dry, sanded it, then painted it to match the fascia. Glad I saw it though. Colonies of squirrels, lizards and birds could fit through there.

Update:
What a day. Home inspector and I were there from 2 until 6:15. Plumber and Electric both came and went in an hour. Having both of them roll through while the home inspector was there allowed for them to collaborate which was awesome because they would agree on certain things together.
Overall, very minor findings, none of them were due to cutting corners and just simple things overlooked.
All 3 of them said this was a very well built house. I suspected this particular home was cared for a bit more than some of the others as it was this builder submission into the parade of homes a few months ago.
