I would be happy to refer you to some lawyers in the Columbus, Ohio market.

@Guifre MoraWhat are you referring to when u say on the hook for prepayment?

Regarding pictures, I only take a snap of everyone room as needed for future reference and take pictures of any items you identify as issues from the list above.  

Also for future reference what’s your best technique/way to find properties without realtor involvement?

I'm sure your broker will refer you to a property manager, who will refer you to a contractor/plumber/electrician, and so on.

Select your partners wisely - Realtor, Lender, 203k Consultant, and ContractorREALTOR - it's recommended to work with one that has done a 203k in the past so they know what verbiage HUD wants to be added to the purchase offer contract and how to structure the dealLender - advice you to select a lender with verified 203k experience; the lender is the quarterback in the process, controlling the rules, paperwork, processes, procedures, and if the lender does not have sufficient experience with the 203k, your entire process can look like the Cleveland Browns on a Sunday afternoon203k Consultant - the lender is responsible for selecting the 203k Consultant (refer to Lender paragraph above); this person determines the scope of work and pricing for the projectContractor - strongly advise you to select a Certified 203k Contractor; this person does not set the pricing (see 203k Consultant info above) but does need to know the different versions of the 203k, payment methods, timelines, paperwork, and processes; definitely don't want to work with a contractor who is going to "wing it" on a 203k.

Looking for inspector references to do a walk through of a off market wholesale property .

Do they usually give you all the details you seek or is it kind of like job references where the former employers typically don't give much info beyond confirming that the person did indeed work there previously. 

My hope is that this discussion will give me and others here a basic point of reference to form quality questions from when I sit with my attorney.

But be prepared to reference TX state law often to their underwriters.
