    Yep, hiring a guy to inspect it. I think I did an inspection on another house before the one I got. It’s worth it when they find issues, and that’s the point of doing it before an offer.

      That is…very atypical lol

      You get your earnest money back if you terminate the contract in those 5 days so there’s not much of an advantage to doing the inspection before your offer is accepted.

      This was my 5th offer so I would have been out $2000 for 4 houses I was never going to get. There’s also no way to do a radon test during showings because the doors have to be closed so an inspector would have to go back a second time
