Thanks nineball!

The termite inspection is probably the only thing required, but being in the midwest it's likely not a problem, but the bank will likely require it. A regular inspection, I can handle that. I'm a mechanical engineer with familiarity of the NEC and BOCA codes. I've gone through home purchases a couple of times and the inspectors usually don't discover anymore than I do except for particular instances of code violation. I've since had plenty of dealings with our local building inspectors during the construction of my shop and feel confortable with identifying those issues. On the other hand, the last inspector I used is a lead inspector for the next largest municipal and was very competent for his $250 fee. It's a negilible amount.
