Should I get a home inspection?

YES!!!!

This is one that I should never get and yet every one in while a former contractor of engineer wants to inspect the home themselves.  Or, a person who thinks that just because the watch allot of HG TV they know everything there is to know.  Let me state that I am a Professional Engineer In Florida, a state certified contractor in Florida and whole bunch of other things and when I bur property for myself I always have it inspected.  I am not a home inspector so I hire one and they know the various builders, the construction techniques, what to look for, what to be concerned with and what not to be.  If nothing else then for a few hundred I end up with a list of things to be fixed when I buy the place and most often repairs can be negotiated with the seller where by not only are they fixed by someone else but they also pay for it and this is greater than the cost of the inspections.

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN…YES, GET A HOME INSPECTION and get it done early in the time line so that if you need to bring in a specialty inspector like an AC tech or septic inspector there is time to do it.
