No tax returns needed to qualify

I'm debating to just giving the buyer a discount or money back so that he can address these repairs after closing but I just thought if I did these repairs prior to closing, if that would benefit me tax wise.If I put in a new roof and add a new sewer pipe to the property would that have any tax advantages even though I am selling the property in the same year?

In addition to the $2,500 the tenants pay a monthly pool maintenance fees, landscaping fee, and split the water bill with the other unit.The unit has now been listed at $2,300 and is still not rented.

It’s a 1 time fee to obtain the bond which would cover the lease.

Expenses such as insurance, tax's.... 

My first step would be to go by the tax assessment.

How can I negotiate to buy a house that didn't sell at $749k on the open market, subject to the existing mortgage with cash over, seller pay the broker fee and i buy "as is, where is"?
