I guess everyone's cool when they are ripped off and are the victim of fraud.

"That seller's disclosure for the house you bought? Yeah, I sort of lied on a good deal of that. That white stuff in the basement actually is asbestos. And the roof wasn't replaced in 2007. Ooopsie!"
"That card was actually trimmed. A few AHs told me that. And no I didn't feel a need to tell you that."

No, but that's why YOU need to look into things like proper pricing. Unless you're volunteering to be the BST police.
I know enough about cars to get a feel for if the stated mileage is probably a bit "off" plus there's Carfax...Or I just don't care, one I owned was surprisingly listed as 217,000 on the title, but the odometer didn't work. At that point it's not like it mattered.
who would buy a house without an inspection? Maybe a flipper who knew what he was doing? We had an inspection and there were very few things pointed out that I didn't already know, and they were trivial. And yes, we had asbestos, and I knew that before the inspection. Plus the roof hasn't been replaced ever. But this type of slate can go 200 years or more....
If you can't spot trimming maybe buy commons until you can?
