Can I back out after a bad home inspection in Alpharetta?

Backing out after a bad inspection in Alpharetta is possible if your contract includes an active inspection contingency, which typically lets you cancel and recover earnest money within a set response period after the report comes back. Without that contingency, or after the response deadline passes, you are generally bound to close regardless of what the inspection found. Many buyers instead use a bad report to renegotiate price or request repairs rather than walking away outright. Ask your agent to explain your specific contract's exact deadlines before that window closes.
