Does an FHA loan require an inspection?

[Hae-Yuan Chang]

I haven't found a clear cut answer, so I wanted to ask this awesome community!

I know that a FHA appraiser will also be inspecting for safety issues. But will I need to get an inspector to pass a loan? I know that I will need to get a inspector for my own knowledge, but will I need to get an inspection to get a loan?

Thank you! Any insight on this and what to expect from an FHA appraisal safety inspection would be great.

I definitely agree with that assessment.
