I am finding commercial very different from residential in that a disclosure is not required, so using repairs as leverage to lower the price like I usually do in my residential transactions probably won't work for me.

@Jenna StonecipherAbsolutely contact an experienced and knowledgable real estate attorney, who is familiar with your local laws and the tax sale procedure.Tax sales are treacherous and are strictly buyer beware, there is no seller disclosures, and no inspections if bought through the tax sale.

Disclosure, I am a licensed realtor. :-) I got my license a year ago when I retired from the military and became a full time investor.

I also recommend using a blue pen but that is just my preference.Full disclosure, I dont't do wholesaling so have not actually tried this but it should work.PS  if you have never tried it, I refill my own ink cartridges at home. costs less then $5 and  takes less then 5 mnts. from start to finish.

The property inspector doesn't have the resources to check work behind walls, etc, and may not have the knowledge of building codes to know what was done correctly and what wasn't.Also, keep in mind that when you go to sell, there is likely a place on the Seller's Disclosure form where it asks if any work was done without permits.

Full disclosure:  I am thinking about building a new software platform for real estate investors.
