Now What?

Okay, so we flew to Texas a couple weeks ago and did a marathon home search. I think we looked at between 15-20 houses in two days. We found two that were pretty much what we were looking for. We put an offer on our favorite. Someone beat us to it. We put an offer on #2. Offer accepted. YAY! Financing agent says sure. YAY again! Pay $200 for an inspector to go out and do his thing. Inspection report comes back, and the foundation needs work. (Apparently, foundations are quite the issue in Texas)
Anyway, it needs $2500 in repairs, and we cannot get financed without the repairs being done or the price being reduced by said amount.
So, we resubmit our offer, including the needed changes. No Go. So... offer withdrawn. No house. Sad face.
So now we start the whole process all over again. Only problem is, we are 1,000 miles away! Grrr. We certainly cannot afford to keep flying down there to look at houses. So now, I am searching online for houses and let me tell you... trying to do a home search online is a great way to start, but actually getting an idea of the condition of a property from those tiny, grainy pictures is next to impossible!
Anyone have a small private jet they are willing to let us borrow for a quick weekend jaunt?
