Luckily structural/engineering reports came back great and inspections didnt call out anything significant.The numbers:Bought the home off market and paid my real estate friend to set up all the contractual information and represent me. 

Will he not let you add the access now to inspect?

Get an inspection of the entire system.

I would be as transparent as possible with the seller because your lender is going to require an inspection and appraisal and the seller needs to be aware/okay with what's happening and why.

Home inspection went very well.

The township charges an $800 initial rental registration fee, and then every year a $120 renewal fee and a $100 inspection fee.

He also wanted 100% payment after 2nd of 3 inspections and fought about it (not in the contract!!!

LESSON LEARNED - get this inspected before closing.

Any EMD would go direct to escrow and then and only then once I have reviewed and agreed to the purchase contract and any and all terms enclosed in it such as inspection timeframe, closing, purchase price, who pays what closing costs, etc.Your due diligence must happen prior to accepting the wholesalers contract unless you also are granted an inspection period inside the purchase agreement with the seller.Everything is negotiable so if the price from wholesaler to you is too high, negotiate it down.

Made a cash offer pending inspection and maximum rehab costs.
