I am looking at possibly buying a home. It seems that all of the certified home inspectors want between 350 and 400 dollars.
Is there anyway I could get a home inspection at a cheaper price ?
Is there any kind of person maybe in the construction field who might not be a certified inspector but who might know how to inspect a home as good as or almost as good as a certified Home inspector ?
There has to be a person or persons out there who are not certified and can satisfactorily inspect a home and charge a reasonable price to inspect a home.
I could do it for less. Does it bother you that I am not qualified to do so and do not carry insurance?. If I take a tumble while in your employ, you get to pay my medical expenses and perhaps lost wages, too.
BTW, $400-500 is the going rate in my area. If one cannot afford this, perhaps it makes some sense to consider postponing the purchase.

Considering the sum total of what you are about to spend on your house a few hundred dollars for a home inspection seems pretty insignificant. Especially when you consider how much a good inspector can potentially save you by indentifiying issues with the house.
Are you testing well water? Radon? Mold? Inspecting a septic or running a camera to the public sewer? All of these things add up in addition to the general building inspection and can cost $700 plus. But it's the best $700 you might spend if you find repairs that the seller can make or pay you to make rather than the next buyer sticking you with it.
