Tips on NOT waiving home inspection

We are at the very beginning of our house journey so I don’t know much about the process other than it’s very long, but are there any tips on how to buy a house and to also get an inspection done? I know these days are crazy and people are waiving inspections left and right, but I’m not one of those people to just make a large purchase on a whim without having all my knowledge at my disposal. Thanks!
