I would try and negotiate it down and if you can't get the seller to consider the  $70-80K number then try and negotiate some of the larger repair items to be handled by the seller or seller financing (since you mentioned some concern about financing).As for the driveway issue, owning both properties makes it alot easier for you to  obtain a "right of way" easement that will allow both property owners in the future to access their respective homes.All in all, if you are able to confirm that the properties in this area do generate a comprable rent to what you are getting on the first house and you are thinking about applying the BRRR method you should be in good shape weather you get them for $70k or $105k.

I'm getting property tax numbers from Zillow, closing costs from my last loan (which were considerably more than what they're going to be on anything I'm looking at buying), interest rate higher than what I can get a loan for, even throwing in an additional grand for extra charges by the lender, no cap rate because this is a sfh, insurance estimate from Zillow, future assumptions in the calculator are 3%, 3%, 3%, and 6% respectively.
