Any tips on the home inspection process? I.e. item-specific contractors to hire and inspect individual elements (HVAC, roof, etc.).

After nearly a year of looking for our first house and essentially giving up, we found someone who likes us and wants to sell us their rental house (without putting it on the market). It’s one of those we-never-could-have-planned-this kind of situations and we feel incredibly lucky and grateful. The seller is very accommodating and letting us do things that I understand would be impossible in most situations in this market. My wife and I want to be prudent, responsible buyers without taking advantage of the seller’s generosity. So,…

Seller has allowed us to get an inspection prior to going under contract with the goal of rolling any major repairs into the asking price and therefore mortgage. We’re going to order a home inspection, but from my cursory understanding an inspector does very minimal examination of things like the roof, HVAC system, foundation, etc. So in a perfect world: What else would I want to know about the house/who should I hire to get additional inspections? And just to be clear this isn’t going to be used to get the seller to lower the price (the asking price is very fair, if not under for this market) but only to see what things we could pay off over 30 years instead of out-of-pocket in the next five. Thx.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
