I’m a software engineer. I’m paid well partly because things like oncall are necessary. It’s priced into the compensation.

Inspectors can’t rip apart the walls. A fresh coat of paint can hide a lot of damage. I would know because this happened to me, and I had two inspections done.

If you’re slightly decent with houses and construction, you’d see most of the things they see anyway.

Sadly, I’d place home inspections closer to useless to useful for me because I am familiar enough with housing codes to do a visual inspection.
