I’m going to suggest something that some would find unethical. I’m not a lawyer, it’s your life, it’s up to you, etc…
Bring a generator capable of backfeeding 220v into the panel to get the power on for the duration of the inspection. Bring a curb wrench and turn on the water for the duration of the inspection.
Cheap money and effort to get a real inspection and who’s gonna know? What’s the worst that could happen?
I don’t think this is “suggesting illegal activiy” per se, but if a mod disagrees they may nuke my post with no argument from me.
I would have been very tempted to have done the same - say, something like $100,000 even. You give me that price, and we’ll buy the house as is tomorrow. You can’t do that price, quit wasting my time.
