I offered over asking all cash at $70k and close within one week to get the seller to accept my offer, then had an inspection that revealed some more capx issues.

2) Has the home had an inspection recently?

y @Fi Scope:Fi, are you doing an inspection for Section 8 or you want an inspection before you purchase the property? 

If you have renters in place it will be a huge challenge to gain access to show, inspect and appraise due to Covid. 

“Our estimates of populations at highest risk are likely to be conservative,” Warnock said, “because we didn’t include part-time workers and freelancers.”Miami-Dade County halted construction inspections as of Saturday and any delay on residential construction may also become problematic, Warnock said.

We've found deals but my realtor runs it from there - showings, inspections, code enforcements, the SPIR, tenant notices, necessary docs (lead paint disclosure, fire & safety, energy audit, minimum housing certificates, etc...). 

I am giving 48 hours for them to complete the move-in inspection form (online). 

We provide safe and affordable housing to citizens who can't afford to purchase homes themselves.Second only to to food, shelter is important as a basic need that no American should live without.This is why I am writing to you to ask for help in the implementation of emergency changes to the Federal Housing and Urban Renewal Section 8 program.As a landlord I propose the following:The qualification for Section 8 should be opened to all unemployed American receiving unemployment benefits.All Landlords who file a IRS Schedule E are eligible to receive benefits based on properties listed on their Schedule E for 2018 or for any 2019 tax return filed.Section 8 will waive the home inspection and Landlord requirements for the participants  in this emergency program and will not remove the traditional application process for those seeking to participate in the Section 8 program.   

Found it on Zillow, negotiated it by making lowball offers and negotiating further after an inspection.

All of this was pretty uncertain until I received all the inspections and told the hard money lender I planned on closing in 5 days.
