Getting out of purchase
Help! We need some advice. After a home inspection we learned the common tunnel that allows access to the garages of the townhomes may have some structural issues, to the tune of $50k - 100k shared by about 10 homes. But the problem is that the inspector couldn't say for sure if it's a problem, and we need to get a structural engineer to verify. And that's going to cost us $2000 to find out! And we learned that the "rules" for repair are based on the majority of homeowners agreeing, and there's no coop or reserve fund. So we want out. But our realtor says it's not a strong enough reason since it's not confirmed that there is a problem and we're legally obligated to complete the sale. What can we do?
