The customary California purchase agreement includes a contingency for the physical inspection of the property, so you will grant the buyer and agent access to inspect the property during the contingency period. 

Among other things, the inspection showed signs of pest (mice) inside the attic space.

Signed a contract for a property and need to inspect it. thanks!

I'd like to know other landlords' experience of the application, placement, inspection, and renewal process

We never have to be there for inspections.

After you are approved you will have 7 days for the inspection and can walk away in that time space.

Regular inspections can catch any issues early, potentially saving you from costly repairs.

Since you mentioned Mapple heights keep in mind that area will have a Point of sale inspection or POS as a lot of people refer to it.

Plus any miscellaneous payments such as interest, inspections, etc.

  - Always do a sewer scope during inspection.  90% of the "major" expenses Ive seen that surprise new buyers are sewer related.
