Provided you finalized your inspection period and already have your B to C buyer, you should be good to go.

If you were buying as an investor, your EM is Non refundable, regardless of Any inspection issues.

I've seen a few mobile homes where the seller is asking 4k or less and I still have to say no because there is so much in repairs.A good basic contingency clause is to include the "contract is subject to buyers and partner's written approval and inspection within 14 business days."

As for the rehab, at first glance there aren't any major issues; I need to get an inspection done and some contractor bids, but I don't want to do that until my offer is accepted (is that an ***-backwards way to do it?).

You could agree to a discount, you could agree to pay for an inspection....but they have to make an offer and ask.Do you know what the preference is based on?

He invites you to come down and make him an offer.You drive up check out the place and inspect it for a potential money maker.What are you looking for to determine what will need fixing?

Just to give you another option, I used Austin Property Inspections:http://m.yelp.com/biz/austin-property-inspections-austin-2Samuel was EXCELLENT.

Basically how this works is you are signing an agreement to buy a property subject to your inspection on this property and the potential repairs meeting your standards.

Can we inspect both units while if not both, at least one of the units occupied?

Property has green card so everything is up to date and inspected.
