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 

It might not be as good in tight corners and tight along floor edges, where you often get the kind of drips the OP is talking about.We're all different. with different ways of coming at the same problem that have worked for us in the past, and in my case, I will almost always give you an answer based on not-so-nice working conditions in old single-family properties that will get you to a good-enough solution.

I'm from Seattle and I've invested in King Co, Sno Co, and Pierce Co mostly but also Spokane, Vancouver, Longview, Tri Cities, Yakima and Wenatchee, heck just about everywhere, even Walla Walla Washington, the city so nice they named it twice.After careful consideration and a lot of looking, we decided that Arizona had much better return for our effort and we have found that to be true.

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.
