And it’s all contingent on home inspection.  

Not a lawyer but it looks an awful lot like waiving the financing contingency.

What I suspect is there are other contingencies in the contract that the seller is waiting out before they proceed to paying for this so they dont pay for it and then you back out of the contract.

I would only ask this assuming all contingencies have been released.

Not to mention, I find it much easier to negotiate contingencies, extended settlements to sort out zoning or other items and even settle with permits in hand with MLS listed properties which is undervalued by most but can greatly reduce your transactional costs and open the door to better financing options. 

With the amount of your claim and if your claim is actually strong these guys do work on contingency.

Get a strong pre-qual letter with an investor oriented and experienced lender (some of the best I've met on BP) and have a contingency plan.

It was vacant at the time and I foolishly didn't account for contingencies.

Request that your attorney include that contingency clause  in the PSA.

I then include a letter from the lender indicating a pre-approval for the funds.This way the offer looks good (no extra contingencies), but is completely transparent with the financing details.
