Appreciation post: I used to ignore the inspection report, now I read every line
When I got my first offer accepted in Phoenix, I just skimmed the inspection summary for major issues. After a friend's deal fell apart over a $15,000 sewer line problem they missed, I changed my approach. Now I sit down with the full 40-page report and a highlighter, asking the inspector to walk me through every flagged item, even the minor ones. Has anyone else had a specific item in an inspection that made you totally rethink a house?

Yeah, "ever find termite damage in the attic" is the stuff of bad dreams. My buddy bought a house and found a mess up there. The wood beams looked like someone took a pencil and drilled a million tiny holes in them. You could poke your finger right through what should have been solid wood. They had to replace whole sections of the roof frame.
