We will have to increase density tremendously to have any sort of chance....but that is a very unpopular option. 

I also asked her to try to schedule the next inspection at the start of their workday to make it difficult for the inspector to claim to have been delayed by some other matter with any sort of credibility.

Use some for buy and hold (I personally would prefer apartments rather than buying a few single family homes) and some for lending/trust deed investing.In either category, you must know what you are doing, know how to vet the investment, how to vet the sponsor (if investing in a larger fund of some sort), the laws and regulations on the lending side, how to investigate which areas to invest in buy and hold and notes/trust deeds for that matter.So as you have already said several times, lots to think about . . .

This allows you to make an offer without a HI contingency which is much more competitive than one with the contingency since you are buying the property as is.You can still get the home inspection after you settle to capture all of the detail items.Some HI's will not do this, they might see it as some sort of conflict of interest.

That was precisely the sort of site I was hoping for.
