What you've got is a not too firm commitment to loan you XX amount of money on a property that the bank approves of.

If your questioning your numbers or if someone has pointed out items you may have missed, then you need to talk to the Seller and talk to your contractor (if one was used) to make sure nothing was missed.It is hard to say to hold firm or ask seller to renegotiate if you start to question your own repair estimates.I would say don't make a decision until more info is gathered.
