I did have a home inspection - No material defects found.3.

They all end up auctioning off properties for banks, where there was some defect I the foreclosure process, so they can't deliver clear title, and the sale gets canceled. 

The property inspector will produce a report of what is defective but does not care about the property cosmetics.

Now, if there is a bad leaking flapper, or some other defective part in the toilet, that's our reponsibility so we fix it.  

It may very well be that another device/opener is inadvertently opening your garage door, and/or it's a defective opener.

HUD does not warrant the condition of its properties and will not pay for the correction of defects or repairs.

A tenant is allowed to move out if repairs to defective and hazardous gas equipment are not made within 72 hours after notice to the landlord.

an attorney can explain title defects to you in much better and accurate detail but sometime peoples will have interest in the property from the numerous chain of past owners you likely have. sometimes those people are overlookes or the title was't recorded accurately or they never filed paperwork with the registry. dependong on the type of title your buying you could be liable for those damages and may have to pay off that interest.

And then we suddenly realized there's a condo lawsuit to factor in.In July, the HOA filed a lawsuit against the developers for $2.2M in construction defects.

Techniques we've used to ask for price reductions is to provide seller w/ estimates we have to cure unexpected defects.
