Nothing I have ever said on here is false.. I only speak the truth and believe me this place is a not as nice as people may think..

When I had the home I was buying inspected, I was there during the inspection, with my realtor. The guy did a good job. While he crawled around checking things I wouldn't have thought of, the realtor and I looked at stuff like cracked ceilings etc. the stuff you don't have to be an expert to find. Most of that stuff you'd see when you looked at the house before you decided to buy it. If it's still functional, and the cracks etc. are "cosmetic" issues, the inspection is too late to dicker over that. You need to find that stuff before you make your offer.
If you purchase a home, and then find the ceilings and floors have cracks, well...you could have seen that stuff before you made your offer.
