When would you forego an inspection?
Are there any situations that might cause you to skip an inspection? I have a prop under contract that is pretty new(built in 2011). I did a walk through and everything looks good. And I know the seller on this particular deal isn't going to give anything away if I find some small issues. I am of the opinion that I might just get a warranty and proceed to close. I may also be able to get an hvac and roofer out to this prop for nothing? Thoughts?

Not having an inspection is an excellent idea, IF you want to make a mistake. Sometimes what seem like minor things end up being a lot larger than they seem. Spend the money for an inspection.
