This does not include inspection, which is ~$300 - get a licensed engineer and not a home inspector.  

I would be much more suspicious if she was directing you to her home inspector.

I currently work as a property inspector in the Charlotte area.

That combined with the help of an experienced building inspector will reveal how much useful life there is on the big cap ex items (HVAC, water heaters, roof, furnaces, etc).If you're working with a lender, now would be the time to get them involved.

The only thing that does concern me is the "no inspection" clause.However if they accept the offer, wouldn't I be able to bring my own inspector in?

The inspector noted some standing water in spots and mud in the crawl space on top of the existing vapor barrier.  

Hi Everyone,Could someone please recommend me a good general contractor and an inspector in the Chicago area? 

The site inspector will just check to make sure you have a few basic things (i.e. a locked door for the premises where credit reports are accessed and stored, a locking filing cabinet to safeguard the reports, and a shredder to destroy reports no longer needed).I'd recommend anyone who plans on doing landlording long-term to do this. 

Just wondering is now the time to ask for a house inspector to walk through with me?

If it's not too bad then you may be able to get the roof 'certified' by a roofing inspector.
