I connected with one and we almost met up but unfortunately our schedules just missed each other. :( Next time...!

The inspectors in San Diego are quite picky and we are totally behind schedule and overbudget on our project. 

I was confirmed and scheduled for closing on December 22.  

Is it a one time scheduled inspection or do they send multiple inspectors for different things?

Provide a schedule.

My agent has asked me a dozen times if I want to come work for them on my own schedule (he's part owner).

You will schedule your walk-thru inspection with them prior to the end of the lease, etc., etc.. 

Hi, in FL - I noticed a situation where the sub association recently foreclosed, and now the Master HOA for the same is scheduled to foreclose aswell within weeks apart.Does that mean that whoever was the winning bid on the sub-association foreclosure will be wiped out when the master association proceeds, does it have seniority? 

If you're serious about pursuing this, I would highly suggest writing down a long list of all your questions, find a good local Investor friendly attorney, schedule an hour of their time, pay their hourly rate and sit down and have them answer all your questions.

I would set up an escrow account and have a draw schedule that you approve.
