The Top 5 Most Costly Mistakes Investors Make

Unless you have had training or years of experience inspecting homes, I would highly recommend having an inspection completed on a property—even if you're buying from someone who you know and trust. And although you can’t assume that you will be able to find out every nitty gritty detail about a property from an inspection, it can help you avoid particularly costly repairs.
