your inspection revealed a few small problems, you could still buy the property and do the repairs yourself. Use the problems as a bargaining chip to get a reduced price from the seller after getting a quote from a professional for the cost of repairs. Don’t estimate based on your judgment, and don’t let the seller decide how much he thinks it will cost. Ask a professional. Also, don’t let the seller get the quote. • Be prepared to walk away.

If, at the end of the day, you find out the compromise required is more than you’re prepared to make, just walk away.
