@Tony Castronovo That is awesome, being a memeber of Bigger Pockets is life changing!

I don't want to retrade the deal, but this is also a life safety concern that probably will need to be dealt with whether we close or not. 

Two kids and a major life change looming and I took the plunge.While I love doing they typical residential RE agent role, I really want to expand!

You just have to understand why the bank is concerned...if you have no other source of income, in their eyes, you'll just be depleting that $200,000 on life's expenses until you run out of cash. 

Ask your agent what he would price the home at in its current condition and what he would price the home at with the changes he suggests.Good luck!

Once a property is under contract have it inspected to determine the current condition and life expectancy of all major components and appliances.  

When I finally started taking action regardless of my beliefs and what I thought was reality, my life and finances started changing.

Be fully cooperative. they can --and sometimes are happy to-- make your life miserable.
