FHA approved inspectors are not required.

Have nothing against them, but if the job of the inspector is to verify that the work was done correctly, then what does it matter if the homeowner does it correctly with permits and inspections.Inspectors and contractors working together.

I am not a licensed home inspector.

This is a real safety issue that any inspector worth 2 cents should have caught!

The seller disagreed that the roof was going bad becasue he had a roof inspector to look at the roof and he said that the roof was fine.Before Before purchasing the house, At settlement, I had the seller provide a 2 year warranty certificate on the roof from his inspector.

One thing that really helped me learn what to look for quickly in a house was following along a few home inspectors during their inspections.

I will definiely give that a try though once I move out and it becomes a full rental.On a mostly unrelated note, I just had the inspection (aced it) and though I am pretty new to this, I think that based on some info i got from the inspector there might be a possible deal on another property nearby that I would like to own, so if you have a chance check out my post in the deal analysis section and let me know if you have any ideas, Thanks again.

So I just had the inspector in on my rental to get the license approved and during the course of the inspection we were chatting about the city/neighborhood, etc. and it came up about the two other duplexes that are currently for sale on the street.
