Reversed polarity is when the white or neutral wire and black or hot wire are connected to the wrong side of the electric receptical screws.
Fixing electrical problems in a home is not very complicated. Doing it incorrectly can cause fire, shock, or death.
Do NOT play around with electrical components in your home.
If you have an electrical problem call a licensed electrical contractor. Doing your own electrical work can and is very hazardous.
Several times a week I inspect homes where the home owner tried to save a few dollars and did everything wrong.
Our solution to non professional electrical work is for it all to ripped out and all to be replaced by a licensed contractor.
The few dollars the home owner saved does not represent a long term savings in the vast majority of cases.
Home inspectors are required to tell home buyer the implication of the problem and well as tell the home buyer what the problem is. Therefore a home inspector should be telling the buyer the electric outlet is not properly wired and the implications are fire, shock and or a slow painful death.

Is a home inspection mandatory with an FHA loan?
Yes. With any loan there will be an inspection.
Who pays for a home inspection?
In a real estate transaction, typically the buyer pays as it is the most beneficial to them to have this process completed. There are seller inspections where they will pay before placing their home on the market to show what condition their home is in and there are home maintenance inspections that are designed for home owners where the home owner will pay. Most realtors will stress the importance of a home inspection and will sometimes pay for their client or negotiate for the seller to pay. Nine times out of ten it is the buyer.
Does the buyer usually pay for the home inspection?
Yes. Usually. There are pre-listing inspections in which the seller of the house wishes to provide an honest disclosure of the condition of the house at the time of inspection. These are paid for by the seller and are available to serious potential buyers. But most of the time the buyer will hire and pay for the inspection, which I highly recommend.
What are the dangers in buying foreclosed homes?
Investing in foreclosure properties is more risky than a typical real estate transaction since the buyer is purchasing the home "as is" and will be held responsible for any issues discovered during a home inspection.
