Masroor Ahmed you can absolutely alter your offer based on actual receipts/bills, make sure that your contract allows for that.

These past few months as a full time investor have been life altering… being able to set my own hours and not being told what to do has such an impact on my outlook even though I am working just as many hours as before, if not more.

What I do find challenging though, is that unless they can interpret the inspection, lots of little things that need repair might translate to the investor that there is too much wrong with the house, where in fact they are small, inexpensive fixes.I have also had deals where my buyers opted to save their $300 and got saddled with some big expensive fixes that would have been caught in an inspection, and we could have renegotiated the price of the deal or had the seller fix the problems.A friend of mine, and quite a seasoned investor, purchased a house from the president of her REI group, and trusted him to give her a sound house.
