The only time I have ever hired an inspector was for my advantage for a price reduction on a offer that was accepted. 1000 is the most I will do for earnest money.

Can anybody give a recommendation for a home inspector?

We are doing a full walk through tonight, and we'll have an inspector take a look Thursday am.

I am in the Charlotte, NC area and am looking for an inspector that will not charge me for every unit inspected.

I am purchasing a property on Van Vlissingen -- south side of Chicago -- and am looking for a recommendation for a home inspector.

I can help you find good deal, connect you with Attorneys, lenders, and even home inspectors.

Always do the math analysis on a prospective property and try to look at it of at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you some time (about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly walk out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.The thing you also should do in the beginning is to have a Team put together that typically have an Attorney, real estate Agents, a CPA (or accountants), Inspectors, general Contractors, and Handymen.  

Call your local fire inspector.  

My dad was long as well pointing out things to the inspector and asking some good questions.Long story short the house has been added on 4 times.The attic didn't have nearly enough insulation and the inspector seemed very surprised at that. 

If you are uncomfortable with no inspection contingency take your inspector or contractor with you to see the property before submitting your highest and best.
