I only see that working if the seller is extremely desperate, seller's aren't obligated to make any repairs no matter how many inspections or quotes you have.
If you’re financially stable and plan to stay in the same area for a while, buying a home could be a solid investment. Rates are high now, but they fluctuate, and refinancing later is always an option. If you’re considering it as an investment, you might want to look into tax strategies like cost segregation to maximize savings. I’ve seen real estate investors use cost segregation to accelerate depreciation and free up cash flow, which can help offset some of the upfront costs. If you aren’t familiar with it, CostSegregationGuys provide great insight into how it works and whether it's worth considering.
