Even on condos I regularly have buyers doing $1k-$5k inspection waivers to compete with full waivers and cash, or considering pre-offer inspections; for multis, my partner and I usually do informational inspections only (no contingency), but we’re usually buying places needing work that we know we can do, and places that are similar to others we own (three-deckers tend to be similar).

I find it to be a combination of Seller over-confidence and Buyer absorption from the inventory influx.  

and provide beautiful properties for buyers or renters.

Generally speaking if a buyer facing this scenario moves forward with the purchase, he/she would want to be sure that SOMEONE ELSE pays for the damages if forced to remove the house, deck or driveway.

For example what happens if I can not find a cash buyer but I have a property under contract ?

Better to know while under construction then during inspection by a prospective buyer or after a tenant moves in if a fix and hold.- crap happens.

I would definitely ask the buyer for clarifications and more financial information.

I just want to be able to easily find a buyer if a buy if needed.

You should have signed a buyer broker agreement.

I would do this directly not through your agent unless you’ve signed a buyers rep agreement.
