should I skip home inspection

[Satha Palani]

Just got my offer on a single family accepted. The property is in the north side of Newark. Larger single family home that is being used as a 2 family. The building itself seem sound though the interior has not been maintained. I plan to substantially renovate the place and ( if possible), make it a legal 2 family. 

Should i just skip  the home inspection? I feel that since we are going to rehab the place, there is not much the inspection will tell us that we either don't already know or are not already planning to fix but wanted to ask for some opinions , in case i was missing something.

Also, can someone recommend a good home inspector in the Newark area.

thanks
