Many contracts allow for the buyer to do some due diligence that could include things like inspections, zoning, whether the property is insurable, etc.

What inspections are required vs recommended? 

We typically also do pre-listing inspections, which i can discuss more indepth with you; its a great aspect of my listing service package. 

To have the funds released you need to have a third-party inspect the house and the repairs made or provide pictures and receipts.

I was red tagged and ordered to pull permits and have the home inspected.

The seller is being difficult, first said only return half my deposit, now not willing to return whole deposit using me passing the inspection date as excuse, my agent is fighting for me and said to the seller it is about financing bank is not lending at the asking price, the contract has general terms about financing, it is a standard contract my agent offered, my agent told me he is going to call the title company, hopefully title to return my deposit. 

Wanted to inquire if anyone has a contact for a structural engineer (on a residential property) in the Las Vegas area (Henderson specifically).Need to get an inspection done on a carport. 

I did have an inspection before purchase, and to be honest the inspectors never turned on the furnace to check if it was working, and I moved forward anyway.

Look for warning signs like wall cracks, misaligned doors, or uneven floors, and always get an inspection from a structural engineer (not just a foundation repair company).

@Rebekah Shields why didn't your pre-purchase inspection find the foundation issues?
