This. I’m convinced very few inspections are worthwhile. They typically identify unimportant issues. They also can’t open the floors or walls anyway, which is what is necessary to catch major problems.

Yes this. The inspections I had on two past houses missed quite a bit.

The inspection on my 120 year old rowhouse, which I've owned for 8 years, didn't pick up a single issue I've actually had while living here. He only picked up on things that have been a complete non-issue.
