Introduction: Purchasing a home will be one of the biggest investments you will ever make. Unlike a new car, a pre-owned home does not come with a warranty or a manual. The ancient Romans had this saying: "Caveat Empor" or "Let the Buyer Beware". It is as appropriate today as it was 2000 years ago.
Avoid buying the "money pit". Have an experienced homestead home inspector give it a checkup. A thorough inspection can save you thousands of dollars and will give you peace of mind.
