access to home

[Aaron Cheatham]

Hello everyone. Hope everyone enjoyed their week.
Here is the situation.

I have a homeowner that I'm working on putting his house under contract. It doesnt seem to me like he wants me to have access to his house. I explained to.him I have other investors who want to see the house and also I have inspectors and contractors to come by and see the house.

He told he can't grant me access to the home because of insurance reasons and he thought this was a as is buy.
My next offer was to give him a 3 day notice of when I need to access the home, didn't seem like he likes that as well. Could this guy be hidding something? What should I tell this guy that will give me access to the home ?

"As-Is" doesn't mean you're not allowed access to the property to inspect yourself, or have inspectors/contractors provide you with an inspection.

Certainly it is his right not to grant you access to the house, but if that's the case, he's hiding something. There's nothing wrong with him wanting to be present when you're there, but make sure you can bring through anyone you want with proper notice.
