I wouln't pay for anthing prior to closing, and tyically there's a
walk through about an hour prior to closing (a good time for taking
lots of pictures inside and out). The buyer always has some
investment prior to closing, minimally inspection fees, perhaps a
survey, a down payment and other incidentals. The seller has nothing
invested prior to closing, at the last minute can simply walk away and
not close. Just try suing for all the repairs! LOL-LOL
