Indiana, Pa. – October 12, 2026 -- Buyers in Indiana, PA who skip the home inspection to strengthen an offer take on full responsibility for any defects found after closing, according to a HelloNation article featuring Sheri L Kunkle of eXp Realty.

Sellers like waived inspections, but buyers carry the risk

Offers without inspection contingencies can look more attractive to sellers because they reduce delays and limit the chance of renegotiation. The trade-off falls on the buyer, who loses a key protection during the closing process.

The article names hidden problems as the main concern. Issues with the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, or HVAC may not be visible during a showing.

Fort Lauderdale – October 12, 2026 -- Buying crypto with cash just got cheaper for Americans near one of 400-plus new machines: Lowest Fee Bitcoin ATMs has launched with a flat 5% fee on every purchase, compared with the 12% to 15% typical at Bitcoin ATMs and 20% or more at some of the largest national operators.

The machines sit in convenience stores, gas stations and shopping centers in Florida, California, Arizona, Texas and other states. They sell Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and the dollar-pegged stablecoins Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) for cash.
