Should I get my own HUD Property Inspection

[Sean Salandy]

How reliable is the home inspection report (or PCR) found on the HUD website? Should I get my own property inspector to take a look at the home or should I trust it? Also, can someone briefly explain the Escrow Description section of the Property Condition Summary? The specific summary I am looking at lists a few items including the following:

• Install Smoke Detectors
• Install Missing Blow Down Pipe
• Install Cap on Open Sewer Line

Then there is the following:

• Total Escrow Amount 0
• 110% of Total Escrow Amount 0

Thank you in advance!
