We put in our bid of $90k for the house last night. We hope they’ll take it!
Now we have to get the thing inspected. Of course, Rick and Ricky (dad and bro) want to come look it over. We’ve talked about it and we sort of have to let them (since they are family), but we also feel that they will be totally ruthless and very honest in their evaluations. We’re also getting our friend to look it over as well. Everyone says you should get an “uninvolved” inspector, but I’ve heard too many stories of useless inspections that missed obvious shit like leaky roofs, bad wiring, etc. It seems to us that the best way to go is to get our friends/family in the biz to give us their opinions. We KNOW that they will not bullshit us or leave any stone unturned.
