So nice of Chris and staff to come on here and vouch for themselves!

If I were representing you as the buyer's agent, I'd discourage you from writing it as it's fairly likely to blow up the deal.One of the biggest reasons is that the seller is most likely committed to moving to his next home / investment and needs to be sure that the sale will close on time.Further, you've already had a home inspection, so major issues should already have been uncovered there.I *assume* that VA law is similar to MA where I practice, in that the property must be delivered in the same condition in which it was shown.  

@Anthony Gayden This is so nice to see the breakdown of owner occupied and n/o/o's.

A listing of required and current or proposed setbacks would have uncovered the issue you are dealing with now.

Then after the inspection, if issues are uncovered, tell them you need to lower your price to x or you're out.And I've found most of the time, unless its a bank, as-is can be negotiated just like anything else.

My basement cleanout uncovered tons of random stuff.

I spent the first 4 months educating, attending REIA meetings and networking to learn and uncover my focus.

A tenant who demands discovery could uncover the deductions against the account to substantiate the claim in addition to a host of other technical violations (if a long time has passed, chances are the account has changed location and the LL didn't notify the tenant in 30 days.)

None of this was uncovered by the inspection.

I've been looking at the few that are available and the ones in my price range are in the not so nice neighborhoods.
