My tips as an agent, you'd normally make an offer contingent on a general home inspection, and on the addendum related to inspections, there is a section "Other" and that's where your agent would write "Any other inspection recommended by the general home inspector." That's the best way to protect yourself and give you time to conduct important inspections. The thing is, you often don't know what will come up that only a trained inspector will find... Think termite, mold, foundation issues, private septic, sewer line to the street, etc.

If there is a basement that you intend to live in, look into radon too! If it's a property you're looking to rent out, figure out if you need a lead test.

Depending on the property it can go a multitude of direction. Good luck!
