House Inspector, The Expert - The Problem Detector

House Inspector, The Expert - The Problem Detector: "
It is a good idea on one of the first properties you buy to hire a professional house inspector. Accompany the house inspector around and observe what he is looking at and doing...ask him questions. Request for a written report. What you want to achieve is to learn enough from this paid inspection and do the rest yourself. You will be amazed at what you can learn in a few short walk-throughs with one of these guys.

- Vacant homes (including REO property)
A professional house inspector is a must when it comes to buying foreclosure homes. REO properties are sold 'as is' and all the utilities are turned off. REO owners are not required by law to specify or have warranty on the condition of the property. "
