Like what the fuck IS this? In order to know anything meaningful about a house, I need it inspected, but to get it inspected I need to fucking put money down AND PAY FOR THE FUCKING INSPECTION and if it’s fucked and I don’t want to buy it then woops I lose all this fucking money? Jesus fucking christ it’s a turbo charged version of the apartment application fee scam. Fucking christ. Who decided on all this bullshit? Infinite guillotines for all of them
This is one of those things that just really go to show the fucked up extremism of the bourgeoisie, like, you could have capitalist hell and still have like mandatory state run inspections, the details of which are public, for every property being sold. But woops, nope, fuck you peasant
You’d think with how this country jerks itself raw over home owners it wouldn’t be this way, but WOOPS
This post brought to you by my gf and I being incredibly anxious over maybe buying a house that seems okay but has a slab foundation so like i don’t fucking know what condition the plumbing is in
we coulda done that but NOW IT’S BEING SOLD
I know im flooding this post but seriously, don’t kick yourself for missing put on this. 9 times out of 10 there’s something major that will come up in an inspection. There is literally no benefit to forgoing an inspection if you’re buying the property to actually live in. Slumlords don’t care because they can just try to charge rent for somebody to live in a house with non functional plumbing or heat but if you’re looking for a place to actually live just tell yourself they’re grabbing up all the properties that want to avoid an inspection, the houses you actually want to buy won’t have any problem with an actual inspection.
