Typically I like to get my clients a credit at closing. Why? Because most of the time a seller will make quick fixes, at low cost, and sometimes at really low quality. Some loans will require that the repairs are made prior to underwriting the loan so in those cases you'll want quotes from qualified professionals for the repairs and even then the seller may insist on using their own resources. The cracked heat exchanger and the roof leaks are the big things I'd go after. There is no such thing as a perfect house so the laundry list of smaller things is up to your risk tolerance; do you want the house enough to treat those as part of home ownership or are you going to walk away? If you have a detailed inspection report that is already a good guide to taking care of all the smaller things as you own the home and build equity.
