But I think it's much more likely that the seller is doing a 1031 exchange simply by them selves. 

I simply told him e had a problem and they took over. 

I'm looking at developing Area, smaller municipalities with some R-4 Rural (Duplex or Rural Comm) that could be used as a land split to get the initial investment money back rather than trying to force appreciate the home itself and simply Rent at a slight cash flow ($50-100/mnth, $150 is the best I've found on MLS)   There's obviously some serious risk here because the initial $500-$3000 for the application doesn't come back to you, and you could very well be denied depending on exactly what you buy then left with a cash-in property with low returns.

Some deals are simply dead and the sooner an investor realizes that the better. 

To simply put it, no you cannot do that.

@Cristin Rakestraw I'd simply charge a pet fee. 

Waiving the inspection simply means you are willing to lose your earnest money to get the deal under contract.  

Should I simply just calculate that into my buying price? 

The first question I always ask on an interview is simply, "while I pull up your resume and information, can you just tell me a little bit about yourself." 

Many people simply use conventional financing starting out.
