Hiring an Inspector and Avoiding the Lemons
Here's a real good article I came across that illustrates the use of a home inspector!!!
With thousands of home inspections under his belt, Evan Grugett doesn't need to waste time on preparation. He's out of his immaculate white sport utility vehicle as soon as it hits the curb in front of a 1915 colonial in Mamaroneck, N.Y., and his latest inspection is under way with detailed running commentary.

We should have a poll to see how many real estate investors order inspections before purchasing a property.
I ordered one on my first property...it took only an hour, but I thought it was worthless so I never did one again.
This article made me think though because with every house I buy, I think I take me less and less time to inspect it. I'm not sure if I was even in my last property for 10 minutes before I bought it.
I have never had a property professionally inspected that I have purchased.
I just use a philosophy of if it does not look right it's not right.
If I have to hire an inspectors for me than there is no need to do the deal.
