Due Diligence is a scam

I am not sure if all stayed require due diligence money but I think it's just a scam.   I have waisted money just to do inspections on as is properties.  Yes it's better than buying a money pit but it's adding up.  Is it possible to do inspections without DD if I am okay with taking the risk of the home selling??

    I'm not aware of any law that requires you to hire a professional inspector. I've purchased several properties that I inspected by myself.
