Nc: First Time Homeowner Disaster

Location: North Carolina

I have had a horrible experience with the purchase of my first house. My real estate agent recommended a contractor (who I found out was also the inspector one company who contracts out everything) The house is a fixer so I had an inspection done. One of the concerns prior to purchase was a large soft spot on the floor in the bedroom. No biggie we were getting a renovation loan to fix some of the bigger issues so that was added to the list. The inspection report came back that the foundation of the house was solid with no issues and the roof needed to be replaced.

Shortly after we moved in we noticed the ceiling was separated from the crown molding.

We got two independent inspections for the crawl space. The crawl space is completely wet. Estimated cost is $44,000.

There were floor joists that were completely rotted. Some of them weren't attached to anything.

There are holes in the HVAC were its rusted. Some hoses weren't connected to anything.

The addition to the house wasn't done correctly and it's starting to fall.

Oh and after a heavy rainfall there was water dripping on the bed.

None of this was included in the inspection. Since it wasnt disclosed we overpaid for a house that's gonna cost well over $70k to fix.

I am not sure what to do next but I am in need of an attorney.

Any advice?
