@Matt – Incredible, only the biggest purchase of your life (most likely) and most of us are clueless about what we’re signing? *Sigh*

A home inspection saved me from buying a home last year with serious undisclosed roof damage that needed immediate replacement of the entire roof. Sure, I spent $300 “for nothing” but that’s the cost of doing business, so to speak. If you are planning to buy a home, you have to plan for the fact that you may lose one or two on the way to your dream home.

Unknowingly, that little roof snafu also saved me from a much costlier mistake – entering the real estate market about $100,000 too high. Ouch! Still looking for that dream home…

I had a friend who did that, he actually had an error too, the rate was wrong and they were charging him points. I actually talk about that more in my post What to Expect When Closing Your Loan

When I went to sign my mortgage papers I went 4 hours early so I could “read them”. My agent told me they had never saw someone actually read through the entire agreement line-by-line & page-by-page. People REALLY need to heed this post!
