Interesting to see what the neighbours and building inspectors think of your plans.

The water fixtures only Includes 2 sinks, toilet, & shower.I was also thinking about doing some of the work myself but would an inspector chew me up on that?

I would proceed to an offer with a period to back out, in there you can request full availability of inspection (by you or inspector), deposit min them (usually $100 or so), and decide if you ant to go forward.  

I suppose I could also stick to the inspector whenever he does the inspection and ask questions? 

It's probably 5-10 years old as most towns/states defer adopting new versions right away so contractors/inspectors/developers have time to adapt.

Any reco's for a good inspector on the western Nassau/Queens south shore area?

I booked an inspector to come out in a few days to test everything.

Eventually, after you’ve seen 100 properties in a neighborhood, you might be able to make those decisions remotely, with the help of an inspector or realtor or something... but definitely not up front.

We had no issues getting all inspectors in the home, and it would have been rather simple for an appraiser to get in there as well.

Anyone living in New Jersey and in need of a home inspector, please reach out to H&J Freile home inspection.
