No more than 5% of your portfolio should be allocated to precious metals. The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) operates much the same as the iShares Gold Trust (IAU). One simple approach to previous-metals investing is worth considering: the ETFS Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares (GLTR). In one fund, you get a basket of four precious metals - gold, silver, platinum, and palladium - each in proportion to its economic footprint. Shares are backed up by the physical metals held in vaults. The fund's cost is 0.60% a year. [2013] - Russell Wild

It is important to obtain a qualified and independent inspector. Avoid someone who has a contractor business on the side and may hope to get the repair business from you. Their advice could be self-serving and biased. Check with your local Better Business Bureau to see if there have been any complaints against the company that you are considering. Home inspection fees range from approximately $200 to $400 or more, depending on the expertise required and the nature of the inspection, the size of the home, its age and condition, your geographic area, the nature of inspection service requested, and other variables. It normally takes a minimum of three hours to do a thorough inspection. [2006] - Douglas Gray
