Found a house recently and made an offer. Now a professional home inspector will be looking at the house with myself standing beside him. Im a newbe at this. What should he be looking at? I am most concerned about critical areas, that might cost me mega bucks if he/she miss the area?
Being a licensed PE, I had my own Home Inspection business for several years before the housing crash...
Below, is my checkoff list that I used when conducting the on-site inspection...
Cheers,
Pete
