(Again almost certainly as described, but we are interpreting over the internet so I am adding this consideration).If this is as described, I think it may be worth considering pursuing this to the fullest extent of the law both criminally and civilly (civil side with a good attorney on contingency). 

Use contingent contracts with sellers that allow you to sell your old property first (hard to do in a sellers market)2.

Has anyone ever run into an issue where the inspection contingency has caused their cash offer not to be accepted.

@Carl BausemerOffer what you think works for you.Banks want full market value if they can get it.If you put in 90% of list with zero contingencies, they might consider it if there are no other real offers on the table.If a lot of investors are interested in the house, expect to pay over list with all cash and zero contingencies.

If you had an inspection contingency built into your contract you probably have an out and the only money lost will be the money you paid for your inspection.

If you want to get a rough ballpark throw $50 to $75 a square foot at and then add 25% for contingency. 

Given the FHA limit of 468k, I am hoping I will end up with about 100k for renovation. 15% of this reno cost would be set aside as contingency fund to comply with FHA reno regulations.
