I don't particularly think that an inspection is the right way to go at this stage. The guidance about finding a contractor who can list out what needs to be done at a high level is a good one. They can also give you a free estimate. My experience with inspectors is that because they want to CYA (cover their ***) they tend to say more is wrong that actually is.

Note also that the realtor may not necessarily be on your side as the more you pay the more they get in commissions. My 2 cents - When you reach a value that is reasonable, drop that amount by 15 - 20% and make your offer. Then go and hide till the next day and watch as negotiations begin 

Thanks guys for the warm welcome!
