They never cover roofs. 

I was worried about the slab foundation and flat roof.

These expenditures are capitalized, meaning they are added to the property's basis and depreciated over time.Examples of Capital ExpendituresBuilding Additions: Adding a new room, deck, or other structural improvements.Major Renovations: Remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, replacing the roof, or significant electrical and plumbing upgrades.Appliance Replacement: Installing new HVAC systems, water heaters, or other major appliances.Structural Repairs: Replacing the foundation or significant repairs to the building’s structure.Labor CostsLabor Costs: The costs paid to contractors, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, and other professionals involved in the renovation are part of capital expenditures.Example of Capital Expenditures with LaborSuppose you renovate a rental property, including a new kitchen and bathroom.Materials: $15,000Labor Costs: $10,000Total Capital Expenditure: $25,000This $25,000 would be capitalized and added to the property's basis.

Also, if you have a handyman and a 6 foot concrete pad, you can have a bike rack installed for $60.

The buyer had an inspection and has requested for some cap ex repairs (new roof and new sewer pipe).

Conplete renovation from floor to roof and stucco and everything in between.

Outdated, old roof, etc? 

I got my roof inspected to assess for any concerns on my way out.

Definitely do the roof.

@Gabriella NataldieWith $10k in savings and $8k in hospital bills I would not be buying a multifamily propertyA roof, hvac system or major repair would wipe out that $10k.Closing costs alone on the property would be more than $10k.While it’s awesome to be ambitious, I recommend focusing on saving $ and building up enough capital so you can comfortably afford to buy a property
