Technically, you should have done all the inspections prior to going under contract; however, you should be able to get your money back if the time period for inspections is still in place.

The biggie: roof - 2 layers comp over 1 layer wood shake; but also, a bevy of breaker boxes; a sump pump running off an extension cord; and probably more). Do you think I stand a chance of getting my earnest money back if I point this out to HUD and ask real nice? I am a big boy but $1000 is $1000. Thanks.

This will ultimately be determined by the appraiser. Just make sure it works when he visits the property to complete the appraisal. I am sure the heating will be fine.

Home was built in 1966 and has the original ac/heating systems. The heater works, the weather was too cold for the a/c unit to be turned on. We had an a/c company come and look at the units. He said that while yes the heat was working, he was amazed that it was still working. This same man had been to the property in 1998 to give an estimate on replacing the system and the owners decided against it. There does not appear that there has been any preventive maintenance on either system. On some sites I have read that there should be an estimated remaining life on these systems, but it will be hit/miss as to whether the system will work next week, much less two years, and we have no idea whether the ac even works. What would FHA determine about this situation? Looking at buying a home with FHA loan. Home was built in 1966 and has the original ac/heating systems.
