There is also a man I've been listening to, uncovered some myths about owning apartment complexes. 

Many of us became landlords during this time.There are still opportunities to be found, but it will take a lot more effort to uncover them.  

Were any of the issues uncovered by the inspection?

That will cover a lot of previously uncovered area in the state!

Be prepared to resolve them after you get the property   Will an O&E report uncover all liens & judgements against the property & owner/s  or  is it best to check them all out seperatly ?   

I need to know what repairs for existing issues will cost and am looking for a VERY THOROUGH home inspector who can uncover even the smallest issues before I am locked in to buying the house.

It prevents wear in the heavy use part of the stairs and provides sure footing than uncovered stairs, which can be slick and dangerous.

For example, if the seller is pushing you to close on time, you may have uncovered a land mine.   

A lot of my preliminary research has uncovered lots of papers on residential real estate booms and busts in this time period, but it's been tough finding strictly CRE papers.

As well, an inspection 'should' uncover any issues / damage and can be addressed in the PSA vs doing it after contract and used for 're-negotiations'.Good luck.
