Default What happens first?
Hi all,

I've got a general question about purchasing a resale home in TV.

So you visit a home and want to proceed. Do you need to put down the "earnest money" first, THEN engage a home inspector? Is the "earnest money" returned if the inspection fails?

I know that if the sale goes ahead, the earnest money is applied to the sale price.

Thanks!
