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?)

that way any damages are covered.I once had a pre-foreclosure on short sale contract (fell through), so I had been inside, and knew about the flooded basement and mold.  

The wind did minor damage but nothing compared to absolute destruction that much of the city has seen.

The moral of the story is that even if you buy high after some period of time, the damages are either not so bad or you actually come out ahead, but if you keep waiting on the market to drop like 2008 you may not have enough time left to take advantage of time

If each individual has a lease for a specific bedroom for example and they gave you adequate notice without damage, then give them their security deposit back. 

We still can t closed because sellers contractors need to finish some work (apparently due to damage from a tornado)Would I be entitled to back out or some sort of compensation ?

I am waiting on my paycheck to be able to fix the vehicle on my own, but for right now it is sitting in my driveway with visible damage to it.

I am a landlord in MA and recently had tenants move out and cause damages to my property (soot all over the walls + holes which required extensive cleaning, patching and re-painting).I did have a security deposit, but unfortunately, I was not aware of the very specific security deposit laws in MA. 

You use your Airbnb / vrbo apps to accept the bookings, communicate, get paid, and schedule your cleaner team to change linens and check on damage.

The kicker here is that the property has significant fire damage.
