If your goal is "to get an idea of if I want to renovate it and rent it out or just sell it", then you need to talk to a realtor first, not an inspector. If you and the realtor come to the conclusion that selling would be better, maybe then get an inspection. But usually the realtor themselves can identify items the buyer is going to ask for (age of roof, A/C, water heater, etc).SomeRandomAg#2580 said:
Understood.
But wouldn't an inspection give me the baseline of what is broken to determine a rough order of magnitude of what would even be on the table to renovate or what to expect a potential buyer would ask for in concessions in event that I sell?
