Any good recommendations for Home Inspection?
As someone trying to get started in RE Investing, the last remaining issue that confuses me is the general home inspection, determining what needs work, how much work it needs, and most importantly, how to avoid buying a money pit.
If anyone has read any books that they like on the topic of going through a house, and the methods to look for what needs to be repaired, and especially how to inspect things like foundation and other deal killers, I sure would appreciate a recommendation. Thanks in advance.
