What should be done to correct the problems that Mr. Jones observed during his inspection
When a homeowner has damages that occur to the home due to a natural disaster or other mishaps such as a fire or hail. The homeowner makes a claim with their insurance company. The insurance company will include the mortgage companies name on the check due to the mortgage companies vested interest in the property. If certain criteria are met, the mortgage company will "monitor" or supervise the repairs on the home to make sure that the repairs are done correctly and in a timely manner. The mortgage company will ask the borrower to endorse the claim check and send it in to the Loss Draft Department. The check will then be held in an escrow account. After certain criteria are met the mortgage company will start to disperse the claim check in portions so that that the repairs can be done. These portions are called loss draft checks or loss draft draws.

If you buy the house outright yourself then no you do not need a home inspection..If you are going to finance the house your lender may require a home inspection to protect their investment.... Regardless of whether you are required to or not,it is still sound advice to have a home inspection done before you buy the house, even if the seller/realitor has already had a home inspection done,you still need to hire your own professional and have it done again,because those doing the inspection for the seller/realitor are looking out for them not you....
