If there aren't many people interested in the property, a wholesaler would have to consider an offer that has an inspection contingency otherwise they risk holding the property longer than they anticipated.However, if you're in a hot market (and who isn't these days), you may be competing with people who are willing to go after the property so aggressively that they drop all contingencies; this would represent less risk to the wholesaler of the buyer backing out so naturally they would likely choose this offer over yours with contingencies.If you're finding that all deals you're coming across do not allow contingencies, it may be valuable to spend some time learning how to expertly predict repair costs on your own so you can determine if a deal is a good one without paying for inspections before getting it under contract. 

I'm no expert, but I've worked VA in the past and have learned a lot about multiple VA loans and some of the other intricacies of them.

Hopefully someone can give me some insight.

I'm no expert, but I've had a few 1031 exchange qualified intermediaries tell me this.

I'm sure @Bill F. and @Ryan Groene can chime in and offer more substantial insights.

They have lots of helpful tools and great insight.
