This is when I was thrown the greatest curveball of my life.  

The most knowledgeable response would be from an attorney familiar with the rental laws in your area.Our lease agreement basically indicates conditions for immediate lease termination (immediate is within the law). 

Are you listing on the MLS as "AS-IS" condition?

You either force the seller's hand by demanding the concessions as a condition for keeping the property under contract, or you accept the property as-is with whatever they're willing to give you.

However, a condition would be that if $200,000 is not the true market value and I cannot resell it for this, the difference in my resale price will be discounted from the money they receive from escrow (or discounted from the seller financed note payoff). 

I’ve been trying to juggle getting into real estate as well as work and life events.

As we are balancing a young, growing family and career, life is busy and crazy at times, but we are anxious to get started in REI, in one form or another.To avoid staying on the sidelines for too long, we are steadily chipping away at our "to-dos" to get started.

In the real life examples I have, total closing costs equal about 3.2% of the $200,000 purchase price, but when I add in pre-paid/escrow items the total settlement charges equal about 6% of the total purchase price. 

The leading cause of cockroaches and even things like ants is unsanitary conditions.

Go have a look and hire your own inspector if you're not comfortable evaluating the condition yourself.
