I'd expect to pay $150-$300 for somebody to come take a look at your potential job.   15 minutes to look at a job is absurd to do it right, but they won't be doing a full on inspection like an inspector will, so somewhere in that time frame and dollar amount would be appropriate.  

In addition, we will have a local home inspector there to give a few tips on what to look for in a home inspection, and I will be sharing the latest market stats for Ada and Canyon Counties. 

Can anyone recommend a Home Inspector for a residential real estate purchase?

I am curious if any other Bigger pocket members have explored this are and can comment as to the market conditions and recommend any professionals (contractors, agents, inspectors, handymen, property managers, attorneys or JV partners) in the area.

Some other worthwhile team members to evaluate include mentor, mortgage broker, handyman, escrow agent, property manager, inspector, appraiser, etc.

I told her no so she wired it herself and then called the city inspector telling them that it was there when she moved in.  

If you find that a hazardous condition such as mold infestation is present you will want to contact a certified inspector or a company who is property licensed to handle the removal / remediation of such conditions.Often times when we are dispatched to service a tenant occupied unit we find that other problems are present that the owner or property management company may want to address.

As you walk around the property with the inspector, he will point out things to you that maybe you have missed and also give you a ballpark as to the cost to fix it. 

You have to talk with your local building inspector.

In my contract I have the right to show the property to potential partners, owners, inspectors, and other people that may be needed in, or may become part of the transaction.
