A few things to consider...1) It can be used as a negotiation point to lower the sales price.2) Perhaps call the local county permit office to see what it would take to get it approved?

Answers in writing a better, in case you need to go back to refer to them later.All of these seem pretty minor and I'd guess that you would have taken care of them anyway.I would use these defects to negotiate a lower price if you can, but as you're ready to close and have a binding sale contract with no "outs" left, the seller might just refuse.Good luck!

Below is a screenshot of the model results but see below for a break out of the assumptions:Purchase price = List price (room for negotiation)Closing Costs = Estimate from lenderDown Payment = requirement from lender @ 25%Interest rate = rate offered on a two unit rental from lender Total rents/Month = current rents in place (room to raise based on market) Property taxes, Insurance, Water/Sewer, Trash removal = all reflect actual amounts paid by current ownerVacancy rate = 10% of gross rent Cap Ex = 5% of gross rentMaintenance & Repairs = 5% of gross rentMonthly free cash flow = $155Total ROI = 7.14%My question is simple, do you think this is a good deal?

They may do it to negotiate a better deal because a cash offer isn't subject to the buyer getting a loan, the house/property qualifying for the loan, or the house appraising for the necessary amount.
