Request of items to be repaired before closing post-inspection

[Nilay Engin]

Anyone has any words of wisdom for me during the escrow that the inspection report has some items that I'd like to be corrected prior to closing. Some are safety issues and some are convenience / extension of useful life for items. I ideally would like everything (27 items) to be corrected and requested them all making a list and pointing them out on the pages of the inspection report. If I have to choose my battles, I'll shoot for the safety related items first (7 items). What would be the most effective way of requesting this from the seller? This is an investment property and I personally want to hand it off to the renters in the best shape possible, but as I am making an out-of-state purchase, I won't be able to hire contractors or do further repairs immediately. Also the renters are supposed to move in this weekend, I was told.
