my husband is a bit hesitant because we have two young kids and worry about their safety

A licensed electrician might have gotten at least an Electrical Safety Authority permission / certificate to conduct the work.

Also, this not reflecting the owner occupied flight out of Philadelphia to the suburban market counties and southern new jersey communities since there is a shift in work enviroment's and neighborhood safety in the urban neighborhoods.

@Michael Noto Chances are it would have been an FHA loan however I’m not going to be pursuing the property anymore I have decided to be a little more patient and establish a more stable foundation for myself.

No, there're safety benefits, and it's a legal requirement.

Being under contract I am doing due diligence and have an opportunity to submit the Request for Repairs asking for the seller to give on some of the larger health and safety things I'm finding need to be done before I move into the house after I conducted an inspection and uncovered lots of baggage associated with an insurance claim for a fire at the property.My questions: - Does anyone have experience negotiating at this point in a seller's market when bigger ticket health and safety items have come back on the inspection report?

We both stated that QIs create their own safety rules that are not the law.

If it is all about "you", you'll never do a deal.You have to have money to give the seller for their equity, money to pay for their closing costs, money for the title report, money for escrow, money for your closing costs, money to make at least 3 months of the payments (safety precaution) money to pay for the electrical and water while you are looking for the right tenant buyer.

If you’re not willing to be calm, respectful, pleasant and patient this will likely just get worse.

For safety sake, I got them all on W2, got workers comp thru the state, disability insurance. etc.
