If that interpretation benefits you, then good, if not, then negotiate or move on.Know your market values and you should be able to aggressively guestimate the interior repair costs (baring a complete kitchen replacement).Make your offers based on that and adjust once you get inside.Another strategy on this is to offer higher amounts to peak interest, then once inside, point out all the items in need of repair and work downward.

Minimum payment barely covers the interest and if you pay the minimum, you will never get it paid off.
