Part 5: Am I buying a Money Pit? Inspections
So far, this series has covered:
Part 1 Finding the Agent
Part 2 Finding the Lender
Part 3 Finding the House

Once you have a signed contract, the transaction moves into the "due diligence" phase. The title to the property will be examined and this is the time when inspections should be done.
