If you have the property inspected by a qualified home inspector you will receive a full written report on the property plus estimated costs of any necessary repairs. Takes 2-3 hours.
A home inspection usually costs no more than three or four hundred dollars and can save you tens of thousands of dollars on unforeseen repairs. With the detailed home inspection data, you can either adjust your offer or take a pass on a property with extensive hidden flaws.
