Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine
In its April 2024 issue, Kiplinger advises how to "Make the Most of a Home Inspection" and mentions, "An inspection contingency can protect you from buying a potential money pit." First, Kiplinger says to hire a qualified inspector and suggests hiring an ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) Certified Home Inspector. The magazine calls an inspector's ASHI membership "a sign of credibility." I've been ASHI Certified since 1993.
Another Kiplinger recommendation is for you to attend your home inspection. It's your chance to ask questions as they arise and to learn first-hand how the systems of your potential home work. I love it when my clients go through the house with me. It's then easy to demonstrate how to change filters, how to shut off the water supply, and more.
That's some good advice from a trusted source.

Nice comment
A customer buying an empty house, where the water happened to still be turned off at the time of the inspection, replied to his written home inspection report with, "Thank you for your hard work getting this done quickly and efficiently. We really appreciate you going out a second time. If we need an inspector again in the future, we will definitely let you know. Thank you."
