ParticipantYou should be fine. Read your title report very closely. You’ll get insurance but those policies come with some disclaimers. Make sure it doesn’t have any exclusions that affect the value of the property to you,like easements for example. If you catch something instead of waiting for escrow or title to catch it, it could save a lot of trouble. Just to make sure you are not scared by this… Title usually is fine.

ParticipantI don’t see amy fraud either, worst thing possible is a little buyer’s remorse and if you don’t have that too bad.Some people don’t recommend these deals for novices but I don’t see any problem. Use your right for an inspection thoroughly. I wouldn’t lose a minutes sleep over the mold disclosure unless the house is sitting in a swamp and you notice the smell and dampness.There are other ways to have mold issues but they are reparable. The mold deal is overblown.
You can pull up the carpet around the edges if the seller hasn’t taken it out already.Check for cracks and investigate if you find them. Many slabs have benign cracks as concrete shrinks 1/16″ per 10 feet curing. Hire a separate roof inspector if the regular inspector won’t go up there. If you get bad news that you don’t understand get another roofer’s opinion to go with the first one in case the first one is just trying to make work.
Good luck.

ParticipantO.K Matt I am surprised to find that people participating on a housing blog for two years would not want historically low interest rates at a time when housing starts to hit some serious affordability in their market. I’d want historically low rates and to keep my cash and hope for better investments,after I bought a house that could cash flow anyway if needed or I might even buy more houses since my parameters including interest rates were looking good.Different strokes.

ParticipantMark,
Just read you last post. I Imagine you are familiar with Rolando? Many people who I have met that like Normal Heights and University Heights also like Rolando. It sounds like a small house will suit you and there are some there nestled between nice larger ones which is usually a plus. -
