Home inspection or not?

[Andres Triveno]

I am buying a brand new construction and was wondering if it makes sense to spend the $400 for a home inspection? What could possibly turn up with a brand new build? I am open to hearing all opinions.

100% recommend.  New homes are built by guys that are typically overworked and juggling 20-25 homes at a time.  They're human and can make mistakes like the rest of us.  Yes, it's going to be a lot less than a home built 30+ years ago and you'll have a 1-2-10 warranty, but you'd be surprised what can happen in new construction.  I've seen plumbing, electrical and other major issues that got missed by city inspectors and the builder as well.
