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?)

As we get closer to the holidays and ending the year it will be upon us before we know it, I hope to continue to network and meet more like minded people. 

Perhaps I'm a little conservative, but that 15% total gives me peace of mind.

Thanks everyone, its good to be among like minded people.

I'll keep them in mind for next year or so.

We don’t mind paying.

Also keep in mind after you win the bid you have to pay to get them out!!

Keep in mind that Habitat typically requires that if the owner intends on selling the home there is typically a duration period (10-20 years).

If anyone knows of any people/firms looking for someone who needs some help or would not mind taking someone under their wing let me know I would appreciate that!
