<prompt> Human: Wife and I are in the process of purchasing our first house. Home inspection had some questions about the back porch possible the framing wasnt done correctly and its now bowing some. Anyway, the sale in contingent on home inspection and we asked the sellers to get the work permitted after the fact. They returned and said no, but offered 4k in sellers credit. House also needs Radon remediation so take 1k or so off that already. This feels like too much liability to incur based on only 3k after reading about city inspectors coming in and tearing down walls and floors. Any thoughts? Our real estate agent seems to be pushing us toward accepting and possibly not getting permits ever. Im worried about resale trouble down the road with that. Also worried about increase in property taxes now, and possibly even owing back taxes. The house is already near the top of our budget. Feels like we are walking into a potential money pit. On the other hand, we could be getting a house for 340k thats probably worth closer to 360k. Thoughts?  <response>: When there is doubt, there is no doubt.
