Especially if they are also waiving conditions and inspections.....you will never win.So if you can't compete with your opponent in the game, find another game.....go where they are not.Ask yourself questions.....where are cash buyers not going to want to buy?

When you are ready to make an offer on a property, it is generally okay to put the contract in your own name (or the name of an existing company if you have one), then form a special purpose entity to hold that property after your inspection period expires: there is not need to incur the cost of forming the entity until you are committed to buy.

If you mean for a rehab, definitely consider National Real Estate Insurance Group as they let you add/remove properties on a monthly basis and don't bother you with inspections.

Above ground tanks are fine because they can be inspected easily.

I would also make sure to get a good inspection done beforehand.

Do you need to install manholes or fire hydrants.You also want to find out the bonding requirements, inspections and CO process.

I've never heard of anyone requiring this, so it seems strange to me.You hate to think the worst of someone, but since they just bought the place, I can imagine they have a home inspection report full of little things that need fixing, and I worry that they're trying to pass the cost on to me.

Only issue was that the town couldn't inspect footings and made them hire engineers to stamp on the structure and say it was safe.

So, that's materials, project management cost, caring cost, permits, taxes, insurance, architecture, utility hookups, inspections, delays etc.

I had to waive the inspection repairs.
