An ispection was just finished on a 2007 house I'm about to purchase.
One of the items that the inspector pointed out is that the roof
flashing on the left side of the house is "dumping" directly in the
the condensor coil. Obviously since the consensor is outside it's
going to get wet, but I'm just wondering if the inspector's concern is
legitimate or not? Could the fact that the flashing is dumping rain
run-off directly into the center of the condensor shorten it's life or
perhaps even invalidate the warranty? Thanks in advance for your
opinion or advice.

Is there no guttering installed?

Nope. No gutters.

New home without gutters!
What else did they forget to install?

He's an idiot at least when comes to the subject at hand.

Your condenser fan is quite well protected from such drippings if you look
at the actual design.

That said, IF its a heat pump then suggest keep an eye on it during winter,
you dont want to have a solid sheet of ice accumulating ontop the grill esp
to the point where it mechanically keeps the fucking fan from spinning.

Normal defrosting SHOULD keep the above from happen BUT...
