Realtors should have the Form B prior to the open house. You typically have 1 to 2 days before offers have to be submitted, so you should be able to get a copy of the documents before you have to submit an offer. If an open house is just a charade because the realtor already has a good offer in his back pocket from another buyer, then it's not worth making an offer on the unit anyway.

If you're really set on a place, you can still make an offer with a subject that includes a review of the Form B. I think when it comes to offers these days, it's usually the financing condition that gets passed over for a cleaner offer. Subjects like a Form B or an inspection are not really significant hurdles for a seller; the keys are being confident in your ability to secure financing (pre-approval is important as well as knowing the comparables) and having a flexible closing date. So, know how much you can borrow (and go a little less than that) and make sure your offer is in line with comparables so that no red flags are raised in the appraisal.
