Of course, if you drill a bunch of holes in your wall and create dust, that is just as bad.

Depending on your local laws you may have to remove all debris and refill hole with new dirt. 

But some of the issues are foundation caving in, one of the main support beams is rotted away and no longer attached or supported by the sill, rotting sill in basement and on some windows, the drain line is heavily corroded and has large holes allowing water/waste to spill into cellar which has caused soil erosion and sink holes collapsing the basement floor above the pipe, both sets of stairs down to basement need to be replaced, Back deck and stairs has to be removed and replaced due to rot, rodent infestation causing chewed wires in both attics, multiple fire doors needed which inspector said they can run about $2500 each ect.

Recommend treatment and repainting.There is a hole and damage on chimney chase siding/trim.

MP: You take the next speculative step attributing it to some "intangibles" that have monetary value.

Just to clarify my own monetary situation a bit more: I am a grad student currently and I will graduate in May.

Not knowing all of the logistics and loop-holes and how-to’s stresses me out...

@Jaysen Medhurst summarized it well with various deep rabbit holes you can go down, all different based on the local and state policies enacted.

The problem is we have a asbestos siding and the electrician told me that he has to make a small hole for the vent pipe.

Get an estimate or two from licensed pest control, and one from a good handyman (to seal up any/all cracks or holes in/around the foundation.Use that as a negotiation point.
