A $10,000 roof repair typically only recovers $5,000 to $7,000 in sale price. A $30,000 foundation repair might recover $15,000 to $20,000. You also carry the property (mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities) during the repair window, and the retail buyer's inspection can uncover further issues that reopen negotiations. Our offer accounts for the repair cost at wholesale — we do the work with our own crews — so more of that spread stays in the sale price.
