It’s not crazy. You should get one every so often just in case. Better to find a small problem now than a big problem later.
I’m more shocked that you could buy the house without an inspection. My bank required one to give me a loan.

Lol yeah surprised inspection wasn’t required.
“Realtor said it’s cool” would be a red flag to most financial institutions and buyers. Like, now I’m suspicious as hell that OP got sold a lemon and just hadn’t realized it yet.

Well even the land itself is worth more than I paid, and 5 years of no problems is a great start. But will find a good inspector and see if I really did get that lucky!

Is the land actually worth more than the property or were you just told that? Because if that was actually true then the sensible thing would have been for a developer to have bought the property to demolish it.
If a property is on expensive land then the value of the property goes up. So I would be highly suspicious of that claim.

The land it’s on is “currently” more expensive than what I paid for it 5 years ago. Just recently got an appraisal done.
If I tried to buy this house now with my income the bank would laugh at me.
Sorry to anyone who didn’t buy a house pre - covid :(
