Canceling a purchase agreement without an inspection
I recently just viewed a property that I was interested in and made an offer and my offer was excepted. My realtor made me waive my inspection due to the market being so competitive. I have a mortgage contingency as well as a dream buyers grant contingency and a I have to cover up to $2500 worth of FHA repairs. The house got appraised and it came back with some things that need to be fixed. I later went back to the property and the property suffered water damage causing the roof to cave-in. My realtor said that I can't say anything about the roof because the roof passed the appraisal inspection. I no longer want to be in contract with the house and would like my earnest deposit back. How do I go about getting that back?
