Long time watcher, First time caller.I want to thank you all for the advice I've gotten from reading BP forums and hope to offer my own to the mix sometime.I'm looking for a referral for a home inspector in Tampa and or Pasco County.

Once you get it under contract, then you can look to uncover some "hidden problems"  I would advise hiring an inspector, just like you would on a personal residence.If the seller is intentionally hiding an issue, there is not a lot you can do before hand, as even a good inspector can only do so much.  

Did this new requirement only come after the bank sent in an inspector?

Sounds like @Zach Tobias got some good content from his experience at REIA Indianapolis so hopefully you guys can learn from that.

Update: So I attended my first home inspection on August 12, 2015 and I must say "Thank God for Inspectors."

When the boss from Indianapolis makes a decision, that is what we do.  

The realtor isn't doing anything you can't do, the loan originator isn't doing anything you can't do, the underwriter isn't doing anything you can't do, the lawyers aren't doing anything you can't do, the insurance broker isn't doing anything you can't do, the surveyor isn't doing anything you can't do, the home inspector isn't doing anything you can't do, the plumber or electrician isn't doing anything you can't do. 

If there are alot of older buildings in that area, many contractors will be familiar with the inherent issues and can either inspect or be your "extra eyes" during your own inspection. 

You might want to find a local inspector and see if he does 203k's or if he has any recommendations. 

I will be finishing up a SFH rehab/ rental in Indianapolis in the next few weeks.
