Home Inspection Question

[Bob Romano]

I'm looking at a property today,  and it has fallen out of agreement twice after each home inspection. The realtor has told me it fell because 2 windows have to be replaced and there is some wood rot around the bulkhead. ( hopefully not termites )  My question is : Should I pay to get my own inspection or just use the previous one from the other buyer? My realtor said he can probably get a copy of the other inspection if I wanted to save a few hundred bucks, i can use his. What are your thoughts on this?

I think it's worthwhile.  There are also a lot of 'average-at-best' inspectors out there.  If you trust yours, I think it's definitely worth the $350.  He may find other issues too - and will likely be able to give you a better opinion on the problems the realtor mentioned.

Good luck!
