Sure, you’ll have some exposure, but I don’t think too much as the market won’t go down soon (speculation on my part). And if you can toss around 2/3 of a mil cash you really don’t care.

Cash deals are not At all rare these days , they are prevalent. Inspections are of course done for insurance or peace of mind reasons but are not conditions of the sale, atleast on the properties I’ve seen.
