Assuming it needs, at the very least, paint and some fixtures, then the retail cost of those items will come off the $115k.

The two largest items being replacing some windows and reframing the roof of a pre-existing 400 sq. ft. back addition to the house. 

From business friendly laws and taxing structures to the huge diversity of housing stock and lots of vendors, Dallas is a great place to invest. 

All of the items deducted were normal wear and tear items, AND we had listed each item during the walk through which they never signed.  

Curious if you could provide some line items behind the $28k?

Definitely no evictions, ability to provide proof of income 3x the rent, 600+ score, as few items to check.

What were the additional costs you had to bear to get the Title Insurance (Not asking for numbers, just line items, one need to be aware of ) ?

It depends on price point and how fast things are moving in your market...I stage a few items in the kitchen and bath for pictures...and have some chairs and tables I got at the thrift store ..add bright pillows and a few plants and place on the porch or deck ...again for pictures...I don't do the rest of the house ...

Bryce Lowe-White In general, your offer should be based on what you know now from the original tour(s) of the house and compared to comps in the area.Credits after the inspection should be for major previously unknown items.

Fast forward to a hastily completed job that did not fully meet the requirements and caused additional problems/work for the buyer (me) to remediate, and a seller unable/unwilling to complete the agreed-upon work within the confines of the Purchase and Sale Agreement terms, or provide appropriate credits for outstanding work. 2.The offer on this home was based on four major items being completed (we have in writing from listing broker): new roof, crawlspace insulation, attic insulation, french drain/sump pump.
