that depends on what the listing agent and the seller have agreed to already in their contract. a home inspection usually isn't worth the cost, especially if you know what to look for yourself. not sure how things work in IL but in ohio a home inspector is onlt libel for the cost of the inspection, usually around $250-500. i have seen several cases where the inspection came back fine but lots of problems were found later. similarly it only takes a 5 day course in ohio to become a home inspector and they are not regulated by the state.


-edit-
there is no such thing as rural residential, it is a false term. if it is zoned agricultural it is agricultural. also be sure to do your correspondence with the local government by email. just because the clerk on the phone tells you it is ok to build a second house does not mean it will pass. keep a paper trail of everything. even with that the board may still turn you down.
