They also do special inspections which I will need for some of the work I plan on doing anyway so it was convenient in that regard.  

We had an inspection done and it looks to be in great condition, with exception of the water heater and AC unit extending past their useful life (which will be negotiated). 

My loan is approved, option periods are over, inspections done, appraisals done...were pretty much at the finish line.

Get a sewer inspection, ALWAYS

I would like ernest money,  my cost for inspection and additional money for inconvenience but how much should I ask for when telling him ill take him to small claims if he doesn't comply? 

Unfortunately the tenant didn't actually sign the lease until Monday, so we couldn't call for the CO inspection until then.

Water was off at inspection so there might be a need to allocate some money in the rehab budget for any discovered issues.

Is there a reason they won’t call me, like perhaps I need to have an inspection beforehand or something?

I did my own research and created my own forms for the other documents you may need as a landlord (rental application, move in/ out inspection form, orientation (rules, expectations, etc.), late notice, etc.

We just completed the inspection and realized the building is leaning pretty significantly.
