'There was an entire bedroom where every single joist underneath was either termite damaged or completely rotten.
'There was a tree growing in my foundation through my attic and a hole in my attic because there's just no sheathing.
'All the of the electrical in the house is faulty and done poorly. The entire house is a fire hazard basically.
'My roof has a dead valley in it, so all of the water just sits there and has nowhere to go except into the house.
You'd think there would be legal repercussions for such negligence. However she is negligent herself. She should be looking at the house critically. I'd say the moral of the story is boss bitches should probably not buy homes without a man they trust, ideally a husband or father viewing it. I don't see how the average man who is at least somewhat handy around the house would miss some of these red flags. Rotten supports and a hole in the roof? You missed that? Really?
Some states don't require inspectors to be trained or licensed. It makes things harder but cheaper. You really need to do your own homework though.

For sure. Most of these problems should have been easily observed. It probably wouldn't have taken more than a glance at the electrical box in the house to know there were going to be issues there.
