Inspection Report Request

[Allyson Dohan]

I'm a new investor and I have seen a few times in the area I'm looking to invest in, homes going into contingency but then being relisted. There is one home in particular that I've been interested in that had this happen (pending/contingency, a week or so later gets relisted, now pending/contingency) but have a feeling their inspection isn't passing (possibly foundation issues which would be good to know upfront). Does anyone know if I would be able to request an inspection report that's been requested by someone else (another potential buyer) but backed out? Is this something that can be looked up (i.e. county records) or is it more of a person gets the inspection and that is a private document? Does the seller get a copy of this inspection report? Would a real estate agent be able to request this documentation for potential buyers?

Totally new to this so would love to understand more of the process with home inspections and what to expect. Thank you!
