All homes have problems.
The only question is how serious are the problems. The purchase of a home is probably the largest single investment you will ever make. You should learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the need for any major repairs before you buy, so that you can minimize unpleasant surprises and difficulties. Of course, a home inspection also points out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good condition. After the inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the home you are about to purchase.
