Take for example, while representing buyers in single family transactions, during the negotiation, I ALWAYS ask the sellers to credit the buyer(s) up to 3% of the asking price toward the buyers costs.

It's going to be an obvious patch job when they do inspections and they may ask for credits or replacement so you are more likely to get more by doing more.I don't know any roofers in Canton, but any time I see patch and roof and sell, I don't think it's necessarily wise.

You will also have a credit on statement for pro-rated taxes due to buyer.  

I do not use Rent Ready, but I know that it is a perk of my pro membership here and I am considering setting it up to help my tenant establish credit. 

This was my first investment property and I used a loan from my 401k for the down payment and also used a local credit union for a 10% down payment on it when I bought it.

One of the things you can start doing is reviewing your credit score and work on improving it if needed.

There' s a buyer who will credit me the value of the lots towards a finished and tenanted property in their inventory.  

-Should I ask for credits to repair? 

They use PRICE LABS to create these score cards that test your price, data is pulled from Price Labs, well guess what you can access that right from Price Labs you do not need to pay them for that.
