Use your inspection period. The standard Arizona contract gives you 10 days to inspect and back out. Book inspections the day your offer is accepted.

Check the A/C, roof and pool. Desert heat is hard on air conditioners and roofs. If there is a pool, inspect it and the safety barrier.

Older home? Check the plumbing. Homes near downtown can be decades old. Ask about the pipes, sewer line and electrical panel, and inspect them.

Solar lease? If the panels are leased or financed, the contract may move to you. Read it first.
