Home inspection before renting house?

[Amie D.]

I have rehabbed four houses in the past. The last one I lived in for a few years and now am renting out.

Is it best to hire a home inspector to go through a property before the first renters move in? I have no reason to believe he would find anything, as I know many of the codes more than some of the local contractors, and anything I saw that was not up to code was repaired or replaced. I am not sure if it is something good to do for liability reasons.
