TOP 10 DEFECTS IN HOME INSPECTIONS

One of my favorite inspectors put a list together of the 10 most common problems discovered found during home inspections.  If you are thinking of selling your home a pre-inspection is smart!  You can deal with the problems you have before a future buyer beats you up on the list price.  Here they are:
