I am of the opinion you should know what it is you are buying. While a home inspection is a good method of finding out what the issues are with a home, do your homework on what the inspector recommends . And always ask us questions about the final report which you may have a question on, we are a very resourceful group of folks...who are here to help.
No one person knows it all...but together we know much.
Someone has that as their signature around here...hmmmm....
