Inspection Report - How would this inspection report affect your offer?

[James Mays]

Hello BP Team!

I recently went under contract for a 4/2 LTR/Section 8 house with current tenet in place in Jackson, MS. Inspection report came through today. First time out of state investor. Currently have a local LTR Condo in CA and Primary SFH in CA.

How should I think about my counter offer/credits/repairs off of the inspection results?

I typed up the below and sent back to my realtor to start the conversation but wanted to get BPs thoughts as well. 

-Should I ask for credits to repair? 

-Should I reduce my price offering? 

-Or is this normal and I eat the repair costs? 

My message back to the realtor:

After reviewing the inspection report, here are my thoughts. I would like to have some of the results looked into further, repaired, or credits issued so that we can repair.

The below list is what I would like to be repaired or priced out to have credits issued.

Let me know what you think, thanks!
