What Chicago City inspection report did your realtor find? 

Some old school sellers, like many in here have said, don't even want to waste time waiting for a mortgage and buyers who traditionally get cold feet right after inspection with a big loan.

@Shawn Tuma & @Chris KayVery difficult in today's market to cashflow putting 0% down:(5-10 years ago it was possible, but prices have increased faster than rents.Your best bet is to find a property that needs work, but will still pass a VA appraisal/inspection. 

I also make it clear we will record inspections with pictures or video.I don't address hoarding specifically.

And yeah Marquette, MI is an appreciating market and a college town where everyone complains about increasing rents (and their bad landlords).Hopefully I can still find a few properties that can cash flow anything, no matter how small, with zero down but I'll have to see if they'll pass VA inspection too.

The painting should be completed within three months of the move-in date, and the Lessor will inspect the work to confirm it meets these standards.Can the landlord void the clause, and what happens if the clause gets void?

You identify the problem (lack of deposit) during your inspection phase, then hit them with an objection that requires them to pay you a deposit at closing.

The rent guarantee was never deposited without several reminders that it was past due.In May 2018, ABC told us that the house was almost done, and we could hire a licensed Home Inspector to inspect the home.

I hark back to the dude I know of who has a 1000 doors, he still shows up personally for every inspection.

Knowing about construction, how to pick a good inspector and read inspection reports will save you a lot of headache/money -  it's difficult to invest in RE just by doing things online.
