I hope I'm wrong because I'm rooting for you, but most seller's are going to balk at things you should have noticed during your initial walkthrough especially if you are asking for something big like the roof (which probably also visually has buckled shingles or other indicators that it's at or close to end of life)A credit at closing is the same as cash to you because it's money you don't have to put into the title company.You will ONLY get a cash return doing it yourself.Exposed Romex is $25 to replace with conduit and a surface mounted box if you do it yourself.
