Inspection Report when utilities not on at home

[Gina Shumway]

Hello! I am under contract one a home that the utilities have been turned off. I am planning to flip this home so I know there are already problems. I was thinking of getting an inspection report before closing in case I missed any major problems before closing on a nightmare. That being said, I would like an inspection report WITH utilities on so I know what electrical, plumbing, etc. needs completed. How do you all navigate this? Thank you!

The seller should just turn them on for you. I mean c'mon we're not talking a lot of money here..... If he refuses to, then he might be covering something up, be careful!
