What's kickin' People?
I've been doing this real estate thing for awhile and it never ceases to amaze me how cheap people get at the wrong times.
My wife accuses me of this. "You've been wearing that shirt since I met you" or "Why are you only putting $5 in the gas tank"? I need money for my .99 cent tacos....
The point is, when you're buying a $250K, a $300K, a $400K (Low prices for San Diego) home do NOT worry about a $350 home inspection.
The inspection is there to protect you and is good for you (Like .99 cent tacos). It is the smallest of most of your expenses when buying a home and probably the most important. On a $300K home purchase using a FHA loan you will come out of your pocket approx $18K. Are you really worried about that $350?
People, certain things are not o.k. to skimp on. Your health, your child's education, your wife's birthday present (Trust me), your plastic surgeon (Trust me), your accountant (Ask Nicolas Cage), your teeth (Ask Dave Letterman or English people), your hair stylist (That's put in for the ladies and the metros), your car (Toyota? Cheap shot), and for crying out loud, anything to do with the home you buy!
It's o.k. to be cheap (I are one), but be cheap in a good way.
God Bless
