Hot take: Skipping the home inspection to get a house fast is a huge risk, right?

Some say it helps you win in a bidding war, but others warn it can lead to costly surprises, so what do you think?

What if winning the bid saves you more than repairs ever could?

But have you ever added up the real cost of those repairs? From what I've seen, hidden problems like mold can lead to way more bills down the road. Saving on the bid now might just mean paying a lot more later.

Seriously, my friend's new place needed a whole new roof they couldn't afford.
