Plan was to cut down posts/remove and put some type of solar lights along edge.

I’ve been burned by a bad inspector that didn’t open the electrical panel, flush toilets or test the HVAC.

I got to the crawlspace, which just had a metal panel leaned up against it, and peaked inside.

We were due for our first child in June and figured we might as well just complete the purchase since we needed a larger space (we were renting a 600 SQ ft basement suite from our friends mom and dad) and we figured the rental in this future home would help hedge any risk with making payments in the future.The property was listed for $275k, we offered $280k and asked for new electrical panel and all closing costs to be covered by the sellers after inspection.

.- Repair subflooring, ceiling, walls holes, replace wall panels, door jambs, window sills, battens and trims, subflooring, electrical switches and outlet receptacles, etc.

If the loans are government they may not be cancelled.Check for any leased stuff on the house, often solar panels. 

(They’re promoting individual power stations using Tesla solar and batteries and possible the cars for storage.)

Like I can replace wood paneling with Sheetrock without a permit but I cannot put insulation into the walls without a permit.

If the overloading was related to undersized panel or oxidation on aluminum wiring, insurance may not only reject the claim, but also cancel the policy.

I also have a 16 panel solar array that's 5 years old that I could sell for maybe $5k with inverter batteries etc.
