Two years or less? You should be able to get a generic set of plans, prints for it from either township offices (whoever the permitting and inspecting authority is), or from the county (whoever the property tax assessment is). You will want them if you do buy --- hunting joist/truss spacing, headers, plumbing and electrical runs, ductwork, the like. What's going to be on file won't be the working plans for the exact property --- and there won't be an exact correspondence of outlets, phone jacks, or fixtures, but it beats groping blindly when you want to work on something.
And, yeah, they'll tell you, "No copies," and, "No, you can't leave the premises with them." That's what digital cameras and pocket scanners are for.
