Typically these repairs are mostly cosmetics.

This targets family’s between homes, either because they just moved to the area; have a definitive time work contract; current house is being rebuilt/remodeled/repaired; students with “rich” parents; recent separated/divorced who needs space for children visits; Houston medical center stays; etc.  

Even if they don't realize how much money you're costing them now, someone will tell them eventually and I don't think your canned wholesaling response is going to do much to repair the damage. 

During demo, if they open up a wall and find a leak that requires a change order. the change order should be specific to that repair and have a cost associated with it. 6.

An experienced agent would have worked with the seller to do the repairs before they sold, and captured the forced equity in the sale.

Since you're wrapping up paperwork, make sure your lease terms are solid, get the right insurance (landlord + homeowner), and set aside some cash for future repairs.

For example do you have a great w2 and can you afford to cover costs of a major repair or 3 months of vacancy?

If the receipt says what it cost to do the repairs, that amount should be reimbursed.  

@Brian Jackson is doing repairs yourself the highest and best use of your time? 

Trying to save $$ so I can prepare emergency funds in case of any major repairs etc .
