It was a great place to grow up. 

Any insight would be appreciated (this is my first post ever!)

I also ask if they've ever been evicted, refused to pay rent, or filed for bankruptcy.Further, I ask account numbers for their checking and savings accounts, and the approximate balances in each.

If I'm mentally and emotionally all-in on the incoming administration and think the economy is going to be amazing, best economy with the biggest hands ever, etc etc, then I can do better than gov't bonds, given the emotions I am experiencing.

We are in the top 10 fastest growing big cities right now, so families and singles are constantly flying in to check out the area.Raleigh allows short term rentals if you apply for a license.

I'm wondering if there is ever the case where an Inspection is OK from the buyer, and if so, what are some things to lookout for?

Yes, there are many out there that do it and nothing bad has ever happened, and I say kudos to that, I just would never do that.

I could probably rent the house as-is but I would hate for it to be an issue if there was ever a fire or something drastic.

I'm analyzing a mountain/lake town about 4-6 hours out from 3-4 fast growing cities.
