[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-inspection if allowed (which is a less involved inspection prior to putting in the offer) or put an information-only inspection with right to void in the offer (may be a dealbreaker if others offer no contingencies at all).[/quote]

"Right to cancel/void" inspections are no different than inspection contingencies from a seller's perspective. It is in practice no different than a regular inspection contingency. Best way forward is to do a pre-bid inspection (either before the opens of on Sunday night/Monday morning). Then you know what you need to in order to make your strongest offer. In this market there will be offers waiving inspection (because they did pre-bid), appraisal and financing. You are unlikely to win without waiving. [/quote]

Not all sellers allow pre-inspections, so then it is either including one for information-only (which is a bit different in practice given that you cannot negotiate off it, but I agree less desirable to sellers than waiving completely) or going completely without an inspection which, personally, I would not do.[/quote]If the inspection is scheduled with the showing, the seller doesn’t necessarily know. Is there a law to inform the seller?[/quote]
