Overall, the inspection shows the place is in pretty good shape with mostly cosmetic fixes.The inspector did notice that the microwave installed over the stove/range vents not up into what looks like a vent system above the microwave, but out into the room just above the microwave door.

Building inspectors do not go out on their own looking for violations. 

Gave great advice and connected me with an inspector who had an eye for flipping and was able to connect me with low cost / high quality subs.

I really am out of my mind that people do that. it's freakin' stupid and horrible and this is what city inspectors seem to miss. 

I will know more after an inspector and/or a contractor sees the house.

I have seen some HORRIBLE home inspectors.

They asked my husband to reconsider and argued as to how both my contractor and inspector didn't know what they are doing. 

The procedure is they have the contractor fill out 2 forms, they send an inspector to make sure the work is done (to some standard, I would guess), approve it, send me the money, and I send it to my contractor.

In my experience the inspectors were fairly "petty" when it came time for the Section 8 annual inspection / rental increases. 

Any licensed home inspector can provide one for you.
