don't listen to the GC. inspectors look at each building the same. i'd go for the most units you can. 

I don’t buy off the MLS, and yes a third party inspector is used before closing the deal.Crawl spaces are just a place for mold to grow on floor joists, whether it be from a leaky pipe, improper ventilation, poor drainage around the foundation or a combo of these things. 

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good home inspector?

If so do you have an inspector look at this for you or do you get a plumber/ electrician to come out and look at these?  

Home inspector and construction worker lets you know what things need to be done and rough cost of fixes. 

I would have a contractor or inspector go through the property with you.

@Dennis JohnsonBe careful when you pay money to lenders; as there are scams out there.General legitmate costs could be pay the appraiser and/or home inspector whom the lender might send to the property.

@Spencer ResnikGet a home inspector to look at the property.

Perhaps a nice 1950's built bungalow.Always hire a 3rd party property inspector to give you an unbiased feel for the home.

That includes the RE lawyers, mortgage reps, home inspectors, agents and plenty of contractors.
