Scheduling the home inspection

[Nicholas Alcover]

Hi guys.  I'm purchasing a new build home and got a great rate lock that is expiring on 5/01.  The home is almost complete, but the seller and the builder have not given me an exact closing date.  I want to schedule a home inspection on 4/07 to make sure all the major concerns are identified and fixed.  That will give them about 2 weeks to fix the discrepancies.  My family thinks I should wait and not rush them.

I'm trying to factor in the time I need for the lender to process the paperwork before closing date. Any recommendations on scheduling timelines  so I don't lose my rate lock?
