Purchasing a property that didnt pull permits?

[Michael Mackney]

Hey everyone. I am in the process of pursuing a deal that someone got burned on by a previous GC. The seller had this property down to the studs with  all the electrical redone and dry wall was put up. He did not get any further in renovations because the GC skipped town. He is now looking to minimize his losses and sell.

My question is, how should I approach the situation with no permits pulled prior to the seller changing all of the electric? I have not had to pull permits before so I am unfamiliar with the process especially after the dry wall has been put up. Last thing I want is this to become my issue later on if the property becomes mine. 

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
