Should I have my home Inspected?

Most of my clients want an inspection but every so often I get this question. It usually comes from someone who is fairly handy and does a good job of looking at the home prior to buying it. However, I still think an inspection is one of the cheapest ways to ensure you are getting a good home and not a money pit. I recently was watching an episode of Income Property on HGTV and during the episode, the contractor found so much mold and about a dozen dead birds in one of the basement closets. I had to ask myself, did the buyers not have the home inspected when they bought it? I know that when you buy a home, between down payment, closing costs, and home owners insurance that one more item to pay for can really stretch your money. But, for about $250 to $350 you can get peace of mind....
