They look for code violations, outdated services, flaws in the home such as a leaky roof.

They may point out missing GFCI or faulty wiring.  They may observe mold and report it.

Depending on your inspector, some write reports trying to avoid being sued which is to say they report everything, whether it is a real issue or not.

That being said, if you are new to real estate, it is probably a good idea to hire an inspector before you purchase a property.
