The broker brought me one deal that I went 10k over list and was still outbid.

@Guy Gimenez   what you describe is the law here in Oregon.. once a home inspection has been done its always sent to the seller... that is SOP ... and once seller has it  they have constructive knowledge and if the deal dies and they don't address some issues and it ever gets brought up again then the seller will have liability.  

At that time I generally buy and sell through them since they brought me the deal.

Having been blessed with a degree of success, and still doing loans about a million and under, perhaps I just passed muster that has not been brought to my attention.

Then on move in day I see they brought a fire pit too and didn't ask me.

Property taxes are always a struggle last time I appealed my property tax appraisals they brought a few down and a few up so it was not worthwhile to me.

It could well be that the duplexes at the higher end of that range need some work and could be brought up to the level of a better neighborhood.

@Ronald Hunt Questions that I would ask you if you brought the deal to me other then the obvious ones like location, price, rehab, etc.1.

It is more than possible that their pediatrician brought up mold as a possibility, and with a baby involved you're way out on a liability limb if you obstruct it.If I were in your shoes I would do the Home Depot test myself and let them know that they're welcome to get a more expensive test done on their dime.
