A home inspection is valuable for major issues. However, in this hot market, just take someone with you (friend, relative) on the home viewing who has had some experience in owning/purchasing a home and then just be prepared to spend "x thousands" on any immediate home remediation. If the house is questionable, then don't become emotionally involved, and just walk away. If you are stuck on FOMO (fear of missing out) then be prepared for an expensive reality check. Good luck.
