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

Oh, here is the REAL kicker too because you're doing an inspection because you don't want to get fucked by a house that is insulated with black mold, you're going to lose out on bid on the house because there are petite bourgeois dropping literal stacks of cash on the table well above asking price and forgoing inspections so they can buy the house and flip it.

You have to just accept the fact that the dumb shit paying above market value for no insoecti9n closing is fucking themselves over 90% of the time.

Keep an eye on these properties there's a decent chance they end up back on the market within 6 mo the once they get an actual inspection and realize how much they fucked up. Not saying you should then make an offer just take note of how frequently that plan of throwing money at a problem backfires if the person doesn't actually know wtf they're doing.
