Can I Buy a Home Warranty Prior to Prior to Purchase/Inspection?

[Jonathan Drago]

Hi All:

Question for the veterans...

I'm looking to purchase a property from a wholesaler to rehab and resell. I'm obviously buying "AS IS" but wanted to know if there's a way I can purchase a home warranty for the property prior to my inspection in case we find out that there are problems with house/HVAC.  

I am basically trying to get coverage for the HVAC system, as I know the condenser is shot. I heard recently that Old Republic (home warranty company) recently changed their policy that if the condenser needs to be replaced, they'll also replace the matching handler at no additional fee.

Any insight on the topic is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jon
