I have had to do this two times after closing, where defects were covered up during the walk through.

This situation is typically covered in the purchase agreement in a section addressing title defects.

IF the owner agrees to walk with no money (funny how sellers change their mind when reality hits), IF your estimate of value is correct, IF there are no hidden defects, and if the market doesn’t “correct” as interest rates increase.

It may depend on the laws in your state, but my experience is that a seller is required to disclose any defects they are aware of, and the buyer has the right to do an inspection.

The attorney I'm working with says that theres a good chance that a bank or buyer will not even consider it a defect when I sell.

Satin or eggshell wipes down best, flat will hide the most drywall/plaster defects, and is easiest to touch up. 2.

I suggest sticking with FHA but putting up non-refundable earnest money and limiting repairs you might ask for on an inspection to only latent/material defects and safety issues so they know you won't nickel and dime them with petty items.Best of luck!

The only time I have to pay for the appliances is when they are defective.

Hey guys,I'd like to hear your advice about a new home defect dispute with the builder.

It doesn't not guarantee a clear chain of title.A warranty deed protects the buyer from prior clouds and defects.
