If you were unable to schedule the inspection no matter what the reason, your agent should have sent over a request for an extension/modification(Whatever term is used in your state)As for the result of any inspection, your agent should have also informed you that the owner is under no obligation to fix anything or lower the price unless the contract requires them to do soI realize you posts are pointing the finger at the owner and their agent and maybe there is an issue there. 

I agree with @Jeff Morelock the Tampa market is very competitive which is why having some feet on the ground is vital.

Quality of the listing is vital, so be sure to look at it yourself (assuming it's being remotely advertised.)

(Assuming they even would entertain the idea of contract modifications and amendments.  

Do not allow tenant to make modifications to your property."

Hopefully all you need are some simple modifications. 

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $32,000 Sale price: $175,500This started out as my primary residence - I originally put down $17,000, the extra cash invested was primarily making modifications for wheelchair access.

Get it in writing.3. can you use this modification as a reason to extend the lease for a non-standard install?

When purchasing distressed-debt that has potential  loan modification future we typically set the floor at 12% annualized cash on cash return.

I’m about to do a rehab in Ridgewood and the median price there is 707,000, location is vitally important.
