I will have it inspected without a doubt. I dont know the technical terms but my realtor said that we are going to write the offer with an inspection period and then a "heres what you need to fix for our offer to still stand" period as well.

That's how it usually work. You come to terms on a price that both sides accept. Then the buyer has X amount of days to get an inspection, once the inspection is done, you go back with any additions to the contract and at that point, negotiations usually begin again, lol. It's definitely a process.
