If you feel it's a violation and the tenant is being dishonest, give them written notice of an inspection within 24 hours and go verify yourself.

I am not even sure if you saw the property, had an inspection done to find any deferred maintenance or safety related items.Get your learning curve up fast 

After inspections I was able to get another $8,000 off the selling price to account for extra labor that would be needed to fix the place up.

He has inspected several for me.

One way to minimize this is to have pre-listing inspections done and included in the MLS listing.

@Ryan WattsI highly recommend Micah with Crux Home Inspections.

I tell them I want to put in an offer for $x no contingencies, no inspections  close ASAP found a good one Friday   I have it under contract   Found another this AM have it under contract Gurus try to make things so much harder so you buy their books and courses  Here is what a 30 second search showed me in Houston 2 BR 2 BA 90k lessit’s up to you to researching these are a go or a no 

Beforehand, inspect (as much as you are able) a few of the properties so you can start to get an understanding what auction properties go for vs. their condition.Ask questions of auction staff regarding purchase process.
