  General home inspection within 7–10 days; right to renegotiate / cancel.
• Insurance binder

  Get a written insurance quote BEFORE waiving the financing/inspection contingency.

  Operating margin, delinquencies, lawsuits, rising-cost line items.
• Open + pending special assessments

  Get the assessment HISTORY plus any pending — these add to monthly carry.
• Rules: rentals & STR
