Foreclosure purchase in NJ

Hey all!

I am a relatively new flipper in central NJ and am looking at foreclosure homes.

I love some of the foreclosure homes I am seeing, but what do you recommend to do in order to get a proper home inspection done?

It seems banks will not be willing to turn on utilities and it makes receiving a thorough home inspection a very difficult (if not impossible) feat.

Problem is I will be using hard money to finance the deal and if I do not account for an expense appropriately in the beginning, how will I ever be able to fix any issues that arise once the home is dewinterized/ utilities are turned on and be able to finish my rehab and sell the home...

What recommended actions should I take to receive a thorough home inspection on a foreclosed home that is winterized?

Thanks for your time!
