3.2.1) Get an independent inspection

>Often, you'll be told the house was inspected at the time it was put
>up for sale. Find out what kind of inspection was involved -- on any
>older home, you *want* the inspection where an engineer goes in the
>basement and pokes around thoroughly. But it is legal (here, at least)
>to call it an "inspection" when someone looks at the exterior and
>says, "Yes, that's a house, and it's where it's supposed to be."
-Wende A. Feller

>It also gives you room for negotiating a lower purchase price, if
>problems are discovered.
-Sandi Rollins
