What level of home inspection to get in Columbus
Hello,
I'm about to go under contract soon on a single family in the South of Main neighborhood which I intend to hold and rent long term. I'm trying to decide which inspection to do, and the current inspector that I'm looking at offers a basic inspection, as well as add-ons that cover:
-Radon
-Sewer
-Termite
-Well water potability
I'm wondering if any of the add-on inspection items are things that commonly pose problems for homes in Columbus?
And what type of inspections do other investors here usually use? I.e. do you get everything inspected, or only the more basic stuff?
Thank you in advance

I usually have a general inspection and scope the sewer lines at a minimum. Ask your general inspector and realtor what else is recommended for that area and type of home.
