The fact that the seller obtained it from the inspector seems like the piece of the puzzle that is most regrettable here. 

This puzzled me when I moved from residential to commercial as well. 

There is always someone willing to pay top dollar, especially in this hot market.PropStream is a great tool but it is only a small piece of the puzzle.

I am just trying to look at costs to see if it makes sense but I want to make sure I don't miss any pieces of the puzzle. 

I can offer better advice if I know this piece of the puzzle. 

Your team is normally the biggest piece of the puzzle.

After visiting ID I created a team to get a in depth analysis on the area, this was the final needed piece to the puzzle.

This will dictate where you purchase and look for properties based on that number alone.My point is that you always start with the end in mind and work it backwards, this creates the strategy (Buy and hold, flip, Wholesale, Notes) which will be driven by the tactic (SFR, MFR, Mobile homes, Short term rental etc) I always coach people and explain that the property is actually the last piece of the puzzle not the first.Hope this helps

I'm sure it can be different for every situation but an example would be nice to start filling out the puzzle in my head :)- I'm sure this is a very easy question but being so new to real estate I'm not quite sure how this all works: With all the contracts that are involved in real estate including the purchase of sales agreement, where do you put these contracts to keep them safe and binding?
