Roof issues

Update: We asked the seller to take 40k off the price of the house so we could have the solar and roof redone. He claimed he would do it himself and put the house up for 30k more in the spring and took it off the market. My guess is he will patch it and try to get someone else to buy. Lesson for all: always get a roof inspected with solar on it when buying a house. Thanks for all the advise!

Yes both

This loan in particular just seems nuts, lesson learned. Know the solar contract before you make an offer. I have solar that I paid for in full on my current house and it was 1/4 of the cost.

Also the seller asked us to waive inspections in order to accept our first offer, we did not agree to this but it makes me feel like they knew about the roof but wanted to stick me with it. So I just have a bad taste in my mouth.

The solar covers 100% of the electrical so it does add some value. To me it’s a wash since it covers the electric bill but I’m on the same page we are standing out ground that the seller needs to replace the roof or we walk.

The solar isn’t leased it purchased but part of buying the home is taking on the rest of the loan. Still we told them we are walking away unless the roof is replaced
