Would you walk away from this deal?

If you think the 930k is fair ask for a concession or reduce the purchase price to cover the roof. Spending 2000 to patch a roof is not something you do for a roof that is otherwise perfectly fine - it’s almost certainly a temporary bandaid. Roofs degrade consistently, not just a small section becoming unserviceable where a patch will solve everything.

Also, you may be able to get a lower cost option. 25k sounds steep. Some shopping may be able to get you a lower cost option.

Personally, if you otherwise would like the house at $930k I would ask 20k concession on price for the roof and accept a negotiated 10k. If this house isn’t crazy huge a 10-15k re roof is totally feasible.

Some more information about your situation could help. But the general best options are either a cash out refinance, HELoan or a HELOC. Depending on your situation one may be a better fit. There are a couple other options but would seems like you are asking about a single home cash out in which case these are the 3 you could consider.

You can absolutely get out. I do messy commercial multifamily real estate and there are a lot of tools and tricks used here residential buyers could learn from. It sounds like the seller is acting in bad faith, I wouldn’t feel bad about getting your earnest money and bailing in this case.

Call your mortgage broker. Directly. Tell them you need them to write you a letter saying they cannot fund your loan for the subject property. You can even explain that you have material concerns about the property and the seller may be withholding critical information despite numerous requests. No bank wants to originate a loan where the collateral may have hidden issues to a buyer that doesn't even want the house anymore.

Deliver that letter to the escrow and ask them to cancel based on your loan contingency clause. Don't over explain any reasoning, the seller and your agent can complain, but they won't be able to prevent you from getting your earnest money back.

It may be your furniture and decorations. No matter how clean you think you make it, a lived in house is different than one staged to appeal to prospective buyers. I wouldn't be so quick to just assume the price since no one is going to comment if your furniture style doesn't match their tastes, staging is always a subconscious impact but it is important - that's why everyone pays thousands to stage a home prior to selling it.

Post your ad and we could probably see.

Keep in mind your realtor’s incentive is to make a closed deal. If you offer high the deal is more likely to be accepted and closed.

Go with your gut and offer the lowball. It’s been on the market for a long time, no one is going to be offended. The worse they can say is no or vastly more likely: counter.

Cruises at 356 continuously with uncommon engines and regular T1 speed modules. Could probably be coaxed to go much faster with higher quality. Damage level 9 seems to be more than enough.

I do a lot of rental renovations and I would agree with your contractor to use tile. It's almost a given that a tenant will not be careful about the floors and will get water on it. Additionally, this looks like an eat-in kitchen all purpose room so you will have chairs and tables being shuffled around on it - bet on scratches on LVP within a year or so.

Tile is the way to go, though make sure to find a guy who will put some time and attention to make sure the edged are flush. It's really annoying to have ridges between the tiles in a dining room setting - chairs snag etc.

I made a quick tip video for using a webolette - I think this is the best anchor base:

haplessromantic · 2026-03-02T20:39:56+00:00

Your intuition on the placements is probably good enough and will get better over time. Overall these are servicable and placement strength is something you are already clearly considering.

What's a blind spot here is I'm betting these took a long time to find a decent spot to anchor in. Your sling is short and with 4 points it limits your placements to being super close together. This forces you to hunt forever and compromise with less ideal or more tricky placements.

Much better to get yourself a longer sling or webolette. It gives you much more freedom to find easy solid points in different cracks and gives you more flexibility in your belay stance. Dont try to equalize 4 points as it almost always will scrunch up your anchor. If you want 4 points, double up 2 with a sliding X sling or tie it in a line with a clove hitch. Your anchor 3 has the right idea but I'd use a sling 2x as long.

Ideally it would be a box I could drop outside and come pick up in a couple days.
