I'm a prospective home buyer. Is there a way (like a government
resource) where I can check to see what repairs I might need to do to
a house before I purchase it. For example, has the foundation been
cited as needing repair, the roof, is there a spider infestation, etc.

You need a home inspection by a licensed home inspector. If you have a good
one, you'll learn all you need to know.

I forget how you detail the inspection but it can be condition of sale
and in buyer's market, the home seller could pay for it. Some houses
are advertised with an independent home inspector's report included.
Also, depending on local laws, there may be mandatory termite and
radon inspections that the home seller must do.

In this case, the seller should get a copy of the FULL report as
well...since the HI technically works for them.

Just get it inspected by a pro and if you know contractors get one to
look at it, you need to learn about the house before you buy it.
