Waiving the inspection saved me $4,500, but was it pure luck?

I put an offer on a fixer in Columbus with no inspection to beat five other bids, and no major issues popped up in two years, but my buddy just got burned doing the same thing in Cleveland, so who's actually right on this gamble?

Your buddy's situation doesn't prove you were lucky or smart, it just proves every house is its own bet. Waiving inspection isn't a strategy that's right or wrong, it's a risk you take when the market forces you to, and two years without issues is a good outcome but NOT a guarantee. Honestly, you both made a choice based on the same gamble, and the only real difference is how the dice landed for each of you.
