Yes of course they have meticulous stats on this once you are signed up with them.

This would be my first investment property so I have a few questions.1.How long is the process to get approved for section 8.2.With the selection process am I able to go through the same steps as I would to select ordinary tenant.3.Are most people actually getting an inspection every year like it states on the website.4.

Would appreciate some quick help here - I'm under contract and wondering if I can back out during my inspection period prior to even having the licensed inspector come?

My offer structure (2 options I'm working on): Cash-offer: Offer: $100k above asking price plus $6700 escalation for up to $125K above asking price Earnest money: $200K fully released 2 days after acceptance Closing: 10 days Wave: Inspection, Appraisal, Title and Financing contingencies.

Yes completed the inspection and if you build a few major repairs needed (2 new HVAC systems and the retaining wall).

He is required by law to put the seller's interests above everybody else, including yours and even his own.You need a buyer's agent to do the same for you and to help you to navigate the process of paperwork, disclosures, inspections and negotiations.Finally, the total commission is part of the listing contract. 

On recent inspection I saw lots of "Baby roaches"... 

Or it could also be bad breakers (check if it's only happening on certain circuits), defective electrical service supply/voltage fluctuations (unlikely unless the whole neighborhood is having the same problems), service entry wiring defects, a loosely connected neutral or other issue with the neutral, loose connections anywhere in the circuit with the flickering lights, or a number of other things we wouldn't know without being able to inspect the system. 

They have also told me that it would typically take 6 months to a year to complete the sale with the inspection period, time on the market, etc... 

Our "rehab" consisted of a clean-out and home inspection, after which we listed the property on the local MLS for $119k, though we sold well above asking.
