My wife and I are first time home buyers. In the Washington DC area
market, homes are going for THOUSANDS more than asking price, and home
inspections are rare as it's such a sellers market. Is there a good
online (free) resource that can give me a good idea of what generally
to look for that a home inspector would look at? Just hoping for
basic-intermediate knowledge. Thanks.

The home inspector for our recent purchase has a helpful site. Be sure to
check out the photographs (it's amazing what some homeowners will do.)
