make repairs prior to closing to get C.O.? (as is cash sale)
So, Im closing on my first investment property soon which is in good condition. There are three minor holes in walls and foundation paint needs to be touched up in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
This is an as is cash sale. Should I make repairs prior to closing and inspection by the city in order to obtain CO even thoigj I dont own the property yet? Or should I have the city come and tell me what to fix which would make the property "fail" inspection then make those repairs to obtain CO.
The property is in trenton nj
