I purchased a condo without a home inspection and it turned out to be a leaker. A good home inspector would of saw all the signs, but I thought I could have saved some money by not hiring one. Instead of spending a few hundred dollars for a home inspector, I have spent thousands and ended up in a lot more debt than I originally planned.

Buyer's offer is highest but with inspection clause. Seller says no to inspection clause. Buyer's offer seller extra $25,000 to wait till 12 noon of the next day to get inspection. Seller says no to the $25K and accepts lower bid without inspection clause. What did the seller know or what circumstance existed that wasn't being disclosed? Inspection - absolutely!
