About to buy my first home. Is this negotiation sound?

Kyle Brown
Posted

I have completed my inspection and im about to finish negotiations to purchase my first home. It will be residential and I will probably rent it out in the next few years.

We are at the point of requesting repairs before I finish purchasing and these are my request:

replace sliding door

add gutters to front garage and along rear patio

repair/replace fascia where missing or damaged

have licensed hvac service and clean system

replace with proper material the corrugated drain pipes under the sink

repair/replace windows where seals have failed

replace missing bolt in electrical panel

have license plumber correctly install p trap in laundry room

correct outlets with reversed polarity

remove hot tub

AND this is what they offered:

$3.4k towards a contractor of my choice. I shall furnish the estimate/invoice which shall be paid at closing.

They will remove the hot tub

NOW, is this a fair deal? I feel as if I will have to bring out more cash to complete the list. On top of they are paying 1.5% closing cost

Thank you for reading
