Petruccelli L.T.D of North America asks; What are the 5 things you can do to help avoid buying a money pit? (1b)

Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says; Sometimes, written inspection reports convey minor items (like reversed hot and cold faucets) as a red-flagged health and safety issue, and more major items (like a problematic foundation) as something that needs further inspection.  If you are at the inspection in the flesh, you can brief the inspector on what level of cost and effort you consider major (and vice versa), and ask them to help you understand roughly where the property overall and any individual repairs needed fall, from that perspective.
