Repair/Replace after inspection

Hello BP community,

Looking for some advice here. After home inspection 3 big ticket items came up:
- Major repairs in roof. Roofer & 1 GC already recommended re-doing, both with similar estimates of 20K for an 900 SF flat roof.

- Main beam twisted and loly columns - bones of the house and that worries me

- Back wood stairs that lead to backyard from 2nd floor are not properly attached to house

So far Im bringing (2) more GC to provide estimates for repair of 3 items above and then go back to negotiate with sellers in this crazy sellers market :S.

After this intro I wanna ask the community if you have any experience negotiating with issues above? 

Would you recommend any above the other?

Aproxx cost of repairs for the above in Bayonne NJ?

Thanks everyone all input is greatly appreciated.
