I would suggest that you interview several Realtors and ask them the following questions, to ascertain if they are truly Investor Friendly, or if they are throwing you a sales pitch.1.

Or, Realtors sometimes step up and pay for minor repairs, anyone can, a lender may not allow the buyer to pay due to funds required post closing.Repairs required are unknown as to latent defects, you can't contract for either party to pay unforeseen expenses or expenses that are not ascertainable at the time of contracting, I'd say any contract that has such a provision was generated by some guru or slick type investor and will be unenforceable.Both parties have the right to avoid a contract upon the timely discovery of economic conditions that they would not have entered into if those matters were know prior to contracting.

Again who should pay for this.It is generally difficult for me to ascertain on a case by case basis who pays for what. is there a rule of thumb that people follow.
