This is yet another tale of a building inspector who feels the need to assert his authority by constantly reminding everyone, "I am the Inspector." 

It’s a reminder of how much a good team can make or break a project.

When I get an unrecognized phone or text, I let the call go to voice mail, then I text "Did I just miss your call?

Since both lots had the same mailing address, this was the address used by the foreclosure attorney when posting the sale.  

I would shoot him a text and follow up with a letter through the mail to be 100% sure if I was concerned.

And, I've found that when I do find one, they don't answer their mail. ;-) I've bought a couple of probates but I found them driving for dollars (unkempt properties) and then tracked down the status. 

@Sawyer Smith, you mentioned that you’d be running the fund yourself.. it reminds me of a situation my cuosin found himself in a while back.

It’s a reminder that no matter how thorough the inspection, surprises are inevitable.Seller financing is a great focus too—definitely seems like a powerful tool to make deals more manageable, especially on the cash flow side.

Mailing/emailing a notice to "start the clock" doesn't cost much and should be done to NOT lose time if tenant doesn't pay.
