Hot take: skipping the home inspection saved me $500 and a headache

Everyone in this group says never skip it. But my house in Austin was built in 2018. Still under builder warranty. I know folks who paid $600 for an inspection that found minor stuff like loose outlets. The inspector I almost hired had 2 star reviews online. I read the builder documents myself. Checked the roof, HVAC, plumbing. Has anyone else felt pressured to overpay for peace of mind?

Yep, people definitely overpay for stuff just because "that's how it's always done.

Oh man, that reminds me of the time my buddy paid $80 for a "vintage" t-shirt at a flea market. I found the exact same one at Goodwill a week later for $4. People really do get hooked on the hype instead of just looking around first.
