Talked to my neighbor about their 2021 house purchase

They said they almost didn't buy because the inspection found a $5k plumbing issue, but they negotiated a credit and fixed it themselves. I've been scared of any inspection red flags, but maybe it's just a chance to get a better deal. How do you decide what's a deal-breaker vs a negotiation point?

My friend got a huge credit for old wiring.

Wow, that's smart... turning a problem into a discount.

Ha, thanks! I'm basically a pro at that move. My whole life is finding the silver lining and calling it a strategy. Spilled coffee on my shirt? Now it's a cool pattern. Burnt dinner? It's "extra crispy." It's less about being smart and more about being stubbornly optimistic.
