It can't hurt to have extra inspections, but your home inspector should be qualified to look at the roof, HVAC, plumbing and electrical. 

.😎)My question is...do I keep this house, have someone pay off the mortgage for me within 10yrs ( assuming i do not refinance and ensure the extra down payments happen monthly and yearly to shorten the duration).

I will also strongly advise against getting married to get off-base ( I've seen many get burned doing that too).

So even if something isn't burned doesn't mean it is great after the firefighters get done.Probably it all comes down to your trust in the GC.For only 10K I would probably do it.

@Brian Adzadi I like your point of how much extra you could be pushing into investments without the debt.

They do what may be more efficient for them but not necessarily the owner (I.e. replace versus troubleshoot and repair) or do what makes them more money (extra turnover work that isn't necessary). 

Relative to the $200 a month extra for MTM, leasing long term means 10 months or so is the breakeven point.

This is more of a strategic play for the future and I don't have time to pick up many extra properties unless they are very close.

This house has an extra two car garage, and a huge lot, so we were hoping that would be a plus.

Google maps might show you a house that burned down a year ago.Title chain is also very important.
