Inspection Issues in house

[Laura Kastner]

Hi All,

I’m in escrow on a place in the desert near JT. The sellers asked 40K over ask on a newly renovated house in a beautiful location. The inspection came back with some electrical & plumbing issues. I called a local plumber, but they won’t estimate or even look at a place in escrow. One main issue for me is that the water heater is 5 years past it’s lifespan. My realtor is saying these issues are 1k and to ask for 2k credit, but I’m looking at these issues and they seem beyond 1k. 

Any suggestions?

TIA
