First off, many states do not even have licensing requirements for home inspectors.

I've attended some IRS foreclosed auctions...and IRS seized auctions...but I missed the latest property tax auction here...I looked at the list of properties they had...nothing to shake a stick at unfortunately.I would treat a property tax foreclosure like any other foreclosure...but check to see if there is any sort of redemption period...there might not be for a property tax foreclosure but that could vary by state law.There should be an inspection period for the property...so if you are serious about one I would get your inspector out there in advance.Also, get familiar with the auction rules...and attend an auction before you actually bid on anything.

I have already contacted an inspector, so just waiting to hear back from him, as well as, finding out if the bank will accept the offer.

Particularly if you're a professional or licensed "something" (ie: realtor, inspector, appraiser, etc.)

On the day the old house came down, a Freddie Mac inspector showed up.

The inspector made me feel like he was doing me a favor.

Your inspector will find SOMETHING that you did not know about.

Either the city deemed the place uninhabitable or the banks inspectors did?

One effective way we've used (and still using) is our "Columbo Technique" that I named after the detective inspector Columbo.

Get to know contractors and city inspectors, they will make your self a lot better.
