If you had expected to buy the house "as-is", and it was discussed, then you'll need to buy "as-is" or don't buy it.If the inspection uncovers something that you assumed was what you were buying, then you can ask the current owner to repair or replace it.

We are going to add covered and uncovered parking.

He's done a great job uncovering some of the pitfalls. 

We had to back out of the deal due to some repairs that the inspector uncovered that I did not notice.

That is scary because there are many more “ unknowns” you will uncover many of which can get really expensive if you got duped 

Anyway, the forensic audit will uncover where those funds came from.

You should uncover every option you have.

HOWEVER- after inspection and research have uncovered some issues....The house was flipped by an aspiring real estate investor who acquired the place as a wholesale deal (re-assignable contract)....did the flip without pulling permits from the city and therefore sunk money on CapEx (I.e a new kitchen) which now requires more investment to be within code, and also has a list of city inspection issues which requires even more investment (driveway cement repair, new chimney mortar, front porch cement work).

The inspector may uncover problems with the home that are not easily remedied, and allow you the right to walk away from the contract without losing your deposit, or being forced to buy a home with issues.

I’ve offered the second space In there to each of my tenants for their cars for $50/month, but they’re fine parking their vehicles outside on my uncovered gravel lot.
