Closing on my first triplex...

[Alex Bernth]

Hello everyone so I am closing on my first triplex and had requested the seller repairs the roof and foundation on this property. We had quotes for the repairs and it would cost $12,300 total from these two specific companies. Today the seller just sent a counter offer to write me a check for $10,000 instead of doing the repairs prior to closing.  Obviously the repairs would be great to have done prior to closing, but if there's another company that can do the repairs for cheaper then I'd potentially save myself some money. 

So what do you guys think?
