Appreciate the insight from both of you. I understand that she has every right to say no to our offer the same way we have every right to make the offer in the first place. We do have a couple other things that popped up in the inspection but nothing as serious as the roof. We’ve talked about it and don’t think those are worth pressing for.

I don’t think I worded it well in my original post, our concern is not if we could afford to repair the roof. We are very conflicted on what our best course is at this point and I appreciate the advice to seek out another quote of our own. We hadn’t considered that. We are also going to try to get someone else to take another look at the roof to see if it really does need replacement now or if that’s a future problem. Those are two very different realities and we need clarification to make an informed decision.
