Do You Do A Home Inspection On Your Flips?

I was curious to see how many investors have a home inspector come in before purchasing their flip or rely on their contractors to spot big problems?

Inspectors are a good thing if you don't have experience inspecting yourself provided you're not under a time crunch (i.e. other bidders). However, they cost money and time. Learn to inspect and spot signs of key things like roof, foundation, termite or water damage from surface inspections. Bring a tape, a level, a flashlight, etc.
