I had a roof where we replaced 6 shingles and because they had not laid down and adhered to the layers below the inspector determined the roof needed to be replaced.  

I am looking for a very good home inspector and I am willing to pay the price for quality service.

I have had inspectors count steps on their way up a building, only to stop a few steps from the top and say "union regs say I am not required to go past X number of steps if I don't want to".

If the property is in disrepair you can also check with the local inspectors/clerks office and see if the town/county have slapped the property with a "Lis Pendens" (spell check) these sometimes do not show up on a title search.

We visited the house in San Diego County before we bought it, but we toured it with her and the home inspector. 

Just be aware that the inspector can technically order you to take everything back to as it was and start over, They don't always, but they can.....

This will give you time to send in a 3rd party home inspector in and do some due diligence on the condition of the property.

It turns out there were some things that our inspector missed, and we were very happy to have the extra funds available to address them.My suggestion would be to make sure you have enough for the down payment plus a decent operating budget/emergency fund....maybe 6 month worth of projected expenses at least.Hope that helps.Mike

Coordinating inspectors to pull reports across 5 different properties can take some time depending on the market.

Check with your local building inspectors office to see what the actual property is, check to see if there have been any permits maybe to increase it to a 3 bed.
