Want to get a home inspector, but having second thoughts...
Hired a home inspector for the condo purchase but wasn't impressed !
He didn't do anything that I couldn't have done myself...

Was thinking rather than hire a home inspector, I'd hire a plumber, electrcian a home remodeler, and someone to check septic...

Appreciate your feedback.

I think your approach of bringing in a plumber, electrician, general contractor, and a septic person is a good one. Have never been real impressed with any home inspectors that I have used either. They tend to tell you about a lot of stuff that's not really a big deal and often miss stuff that's important.
