Home Inspections Handbook

Be your own home inspector with The Home Inspection Handbook. No one should ever buy a house without first inspecting it for crumbling foundations, corroded pipes, termites, and a host of other potential problems that could turn your most important investment into a disaster. The Home Inspection Handbook helps you spot symptoms of existing and potential problems at nineteen key checkpoints, determine which problems would require your immediate attention, estimate how much time, skill, and money it would take to make renovations and repairs, and indicate which problems are "Walk-Away Factors"-problems so serious that you should not even consider buying the house in question. Take the guesswork out of finding the right house and maximize your odds of success with The Home Inspection Handbook.
