If you do not want to do that, then you would have to ask the seller to reduce the purchase price by that dollar amount.

Anyone you hire is merely there to reduce the burden on you and make your life easier, you are still the one in charge always always always.

Unresolved code violations, such as unpermitted modifications, could impact your ability to refinance or could reduce the property's appraised value, affecting loan terms.

Honestly it’s all about opportunity cost.If that additional cost is going to yield you more than it costs; then pull the trigger .If you borrow a down payment, it’s going to reduce your cash on cash return as your mortgage payment is increased. 

I guess this is a perk of buying at the peak of rates now that the Fed wants to reduce rates in the near future.

I'm fairly confident from reading online we don't qualify for an exemption, but I'm trying to assess actual closing costs to trying and reduce them All details:Bought the house 2.5 years ago for $980K (left on mortgage $753K), we have a clause for an assumable mortgage for me to take over (I can keep same rate).

@Tim DelaneyHey, I have read books from CPAs that have said how I can reduce my taxes.

It also reduces the likelihood of price fluctuations based solely on seasonal trends, allowing for more predictable cash flow and quicker returns.Markets with minimal seasonality also provide greater flexibility for investors, who aren’t pressured to time transactions based on seasonal cycles.
