@Bill Brandt thank you, will await for the estimates and the negotiate this and see if seller is willing to low cost and provide some concessions if not I’ll def work away at the end it’s a numbers game

@Vaughn Smith Hi there, would you mind sharing those with me?

I’m last inspection and estimating repairs to negotiate and need a quote to repair a twisted beam

@Andrew Freed your input is awesome, thanks for the detailed feedback gave me a lot of perspective and confidence, visiting today with a GC to continue my due diligence part. Thanks again

@Matthew McCormick its a bitumen (asphalt rolls) roof, has some tear down and aluminum coating already per inspection report seems like seller did that to extend life of roof maybe 5 years ago. 

The stairs I think you're right a carpenter can jack up the stairs and attach properly. I do have my concerns with a twisted beam, you know its the structural bone of the house keeping it together. For this being my first property I dont incline myself to purchase a broken bone house and would push for seller to fix structural issues beside I dont know if they can sell a property with that - do you know?

Then with roof well I'll try to negotiate some decent seller credit to do that.

Thanks so much for your input, as you said if a the end its not worth other properties will show up, thanks!

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.

Maybe you can take a look at Bayonne, decent commute to the city and residential area. Bayonne will be booming in the upcoming years
