There is no such thing as a perfect house.  If the inspection does identify problems, it doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't buy the house.  You are always free to negotiate with the seller and attempt to come to an agreement about how problems will be corrected.  This may involve adjusting the purchase price or contract terms, or an agreement that repairs will be completed before the sale continues.  Most problems can be repaired with rare exceptions.  What is most important is that you be aware of what the problems are so that you can make informed decisions about your purchase.
