A lot of landlords just don't want to be bothered with the nitpicking that goes along with meeting all criteria of Section 8 inspection.

I only found out about it from my property agent who did a quarterly inspection.

Most popular brand seems to be Panasonic just by my unscientific inspection.

I guess for now you are ok but going forward you could have problems especially if you sell or if the city wants to do an inspection and discovers an illegal bedroom. 

We have received the rehab quotes and inspection report and our offer is probably a bit high for our returns.

Apparently that's the usual practice around here.I gleaned as much as I could from the proforma, but you shouldn't take the info on it as accurate.Depending on the purchase & sale agreement your agent uses, it should ask for those documents for you to be able to inspect. 

If it not, the mortgage company will confiscate the insurance check and dole it out piecemeal and subject you to inspections before they dole out each breadcrumb.Also, if it is an older house, it will have to brought up to code, which will cost more money. 

However the sellers aren't interested in setting up a time for me to inspect the property.

For now, this is what we are going to do:- Call tenant, notify her of the situation, write letter as well- She'll be charged the late fee and bounced check fee- Set-up an inspection to come an view the property this weekQuestions for the BP community:- How long can we need to legally give her to pay the rent?

I've had three buyers who walked after the inspection.
