However, it is on the grass between the curb and sidewalk which i believe is technically government property.  

What would be a reasonable discount request on a property looking at structural foundation repairs to include some re-grading to prevent repeat issues, potential mold treatment, window replacement (total 20 windows).I believe in being fair to both seller and myself and I keep hearing and reading (as I went online and started researching this as I wait to get inspection report), I keep hearing that in this market most homes will have some kind of foundation issues and that should not be a deal breaker.What other advice would you give.I do like the home, it has great curb appeal, but I believe in the say, “A home without a foundation is not a home”, so I do want to be careful not to be taking on a home that will leave me stuck with a hefty bill.I plan on continuing to do my research throughout the day as we wait on the inspection report and will eagerly also await any comments that group members can offer to help me make my decision before 12midnight tonight.I hate to lose this home, but I also hate to take a risk that may leave me with a hefty bill down the line.Any comments will be appreciated, good, bad, ugly…… brutal honesty, I will take it all with gratitude.Thanks.

I’m a fan of painting the home, but a bigger fan of curb appeal.

The property has a great layout, curb appeal and the bones are in great shape. 

Your way around it if it is fix and flip is to just do work that will increase the appraisal: improve curb appeal, enhance the kitchen or bath, or turn it into an open concept.

I'm sure you can find ways to curb the enthusiasm. 

A majority of properties are "curb offers only" so being able to have a team that is familiar with that and has a great reputation is really important.  

If you can come to the city to visit that helps but often, as a majority of properties are "curb offers only", buyers will come out for inspections after the offer is made and then go home and complete the rest of deal form there.

It brings up an off-topic and interesting question which is "what do you consider when judging curb appeal?" 

People's stuff is generally put on the curb the day the locks are changed.
