Contact the local housing authority to find out what you need to do to get your properties inspected/approved for section 8.  

We'll get an inspection done whenever the seller finally gets back to me. 

We did your standard inspections and all professionals that came by agreed that the home was in fantastic condition.

It seems to me that more and more vendors are only allowing pre-inspection and no "inspection period" contingency.

After doing an actual inspection; it's going to need about 60K in work.

Don't know how you would expect anyone to give an estimate with seeing inside photos and an inspection.

Sometimes you can arrange for a city inspector to come out and inspect your home.

:)  Alternatively, take the the inspections and viewing clause out of it and offer even less.  

They ask for all my RE owned, name and account info for all my assests, all my other mortgages, etc.They are asking for %20 down, plus 2 points, plus a 1200 "application fee" for documents and inspection, @ 12% for 12 months.Is there something wrong here?

Inspection shows it needs very minor repairs.
