I just did a first inspection and I need help from contractors
This is my first house I was trying to buy. I did the inspection and have the result. It is old (1956) house and it has more then expected problems. and I want a contractor help to estimate the cost of repair by looking at the inspection sheet so that house price would be drop or present owner would fix it or overall just pass this house. Any Helpers for new buyer?

Most of the time you don't want the seller doing any repairs. It is better to get price concessions and do the repairs yourself. Whether or not that is possible depends on your market and what your agreed-upon price is right now.
What types of problems did the inspection find?
