Attending inspection vs final walk through
Out of state investors:
If you were available for one trip to view a property in person you're buying out of town, and hired a home inspector, would you make the trip during the inspection period or the final walk through?
There's been times I went out of town for both or one over the other. Curious to learn the perspective of others if you could only do one.

Personally I invest locally and wouldn’t miss either. If I had to choose one though I’d choose the inspection. I have a great inspector and like to be able to see what he finds to know the scope. Also if you haven’t seen previously I’d want to see then home early in the process while you still have outs for the inspection in case you need to walk. Your agent should be able to do the final inspection and let you know if anything changed materially.
