Mold needs moisture and food, dry it up.

Keep in mind we do not have known cost amounts for these repair items, and can just make estimates, and hope no other costly issues are uncovered after attacking some of the repairs.My question is, with our next interaction with the selling agent, should we:A) Ask for the major repairs be metB) Ask for a decrease in agreed upon price (without great idea of what the repairs will cost)C) A combination of both; settle with some repairs met, and a decrease in priceOur entire list is below: (keep in mind that I am not sure if all of these things need direct attention to get the unit rent-able, or if some items can be overlooked for now and deal with later as they become more of a problem)Repair List:Items that need attention before renting unit:Big Ticket Items:Install furnaceInstall all new appliancesInstall water heaterExterior electric power supply is damaged, needs repairInstall guttersNo termite treatmentNo gas meter, install newAttic decking has moisture damage, needs repairSmaller Repair Items:Install electric panel faceplate and secure exposed wiresTwo prong outlets (could not test), swap out, install GFCI where neededTrim tree limbs in contact with power linesMissing light cover under front entranceRepair kitchen windowsRepair kitchen sink leakRepair utility room leakInsulate atticSeal gaps in living room doorLoose bathroom faucetAdjust shower water pressurePatchwork performed in multiple rooms, walls are plaster on wood lathe- which I have been told can have asbestos issues once opened upDeferred Cost Items:Large tree removalTorn and missing roof shinglesSeal plumbing boots on roofRaised soffit under car portSecure electrical lines in attic, they run over attic stringers, not through them (necessary?)

The foundation could also settle with excess moisture.

I called 8 of them today and NOT one answered the phone and more glaringly one of them the number did not work.Just a gentle suggestion for those starting out at least and or until you have enough deal flow.. but I highly recommend you answer live.and of course double check that your phone is working.. 

The buyers inspectors literally praised the work we had done throughout, but a week ago the CL-100 wood infestation inspection came back noting a small bit of non-structural exterior sheathing damage along the bottom of the back wall behind the vinyl siding due to moisture :( The good news is we are 99.9% sure the issue was caused by rain water coming off of the roof and landing in an area that had standing water before we brought in some dirt and gravel to resolve the drainage issue during the remodel (townhouse is on a slab). 

(Checking via moisture readers) So why is this a win? 

The inspector said the house needed a new roof 5 years ago when I bought the place…When I walk on the roof there are areas of clear rotting in the sheathing under the shingles, it’s spongy as if there has been moisture intrusion and rotting of the sheathing…The roof is bowing in some areas also, and has a couple of curled shingles.

When I went to replace them, I found moisture damage in the drywall and framing.
