In what cases would you NOT hire an inspector?

[CL Ziegler]

I always thought every house purchase automatically required a professional inspection. Is this true? Are there exceptions?

In my conversation with the bank thus far, the topic has not come up yet. So, I'm assuming the requirement is different for commercially financed purchases?

If you buy a rental unit and DON'T have it inspected... (I mean, does anybody ever actually do this?) ...what kind of chances are you taking?

As always, thanks in advance for your insight. You guys are great, and so helpful.
