You can add language such as "Inspection for information purposes only" or similar to convey that you won't expect repairs or cash concessions from the seller, but you do not want to lose the ability to walk away if you find that the house is in shoddy condition and you should not trust an inspection report that is not from an independent source and provided to you outside of the seller. 

You might lose more than the taxes if you’re in the 15% capital gains bracket.

Quote from @Piper Pepperidge: Looking to do my first flip, was originally looking at baltimore, but it looks like it's moving towards a buyer's market and inventory is very high so I'm looking for other hot neighbors with low inventory.ThanksHottest markets are inner ring dc suburbs, moco, nova, even Howard and Frederick, I can tell though if you are a 1st time flipper you will lose money, I’ve been doing this for nearly a decade and I cannot hit my numbers, I met with a flipper a few weeks doing 12 a month, has his own crews, buys off market, literally a full time business, even he is struggling , it’s a bad time to flip right now tbh.
