The house had more damage then expected, is there a 30 day right of refusal?

Yes...But didn't the inspector tell you all the problems with the house? My neighbor had to take back her home, it was discovered she had a flood and didn't disclose it....The buyers bought the house and had new carpet installed and that's when they discovered that the house had been flooded and the owner didn't disclose it, nor did the inspector discover it.....If you can find a problem that was hidden, where the inspector didn't or couldn't see, and the owners didn't disclose, then you have a right to return the home....I live in Texas, so I know it can be done....Best of luck...

Um. NO. If the house has closed already, that's your problem then. This is the purpose of a HOME INSPECTION. Your original offer can be contingent on the home inspection being "acceptable" to the buyer.
If you already closed, you own the thing. You cant do anything unless you can prove fraud on the part of the seller and sue for damages/repairs.

Depends on the terms of the contract. The house was suppose to have an inspection prior to sale. If it is noted that the inspector missed/covered up a problem, you might have recourse against the inspector. Your best bet is to check with your Realtor, or lending institution. (They don't want to hold a mortgage on a bad home).

Get a home inspection. Anything disclosed must be repaired. If it is not disclosed and you have evidence that the owner was aware of the defect, the sale is null and void, but this is not a one day problem. It takes evidence, court filings and documentation.
You may even have to hire an attorney!!

Your first mistakes replaced into in remaining the acquisition at the same time as they were nevertheless in the premises. NOW, you've 'tenants', even if or not they are lease paying tenants. you'll opt to convey an eviction action to have them bumped off.

the only way is to make sure the owner knew about it and didn't tell you about previous damage then the owner and realtor are liable for selling the house on false pretenses

Uh, no. You bought it, you deal with it. That is a risk you take when buying a house and you make your purchase knowing that.

Caveat Emptor - Buyer beware. As long as there's nothing seriously wrong with it (ex. foundation is disintigrating), it was your responsibility to have it inspected.
