It's no secret you need to get a home inspection before buying a home. There is even a school of thought that recommends getting a home inspection as a seller. That way you are already aware of any hidden trouble-spots and can remedy them before the first potential buyers walk through the door (or watch your walk-through video).

What typically arises after the inspection is the debate about which items on the list "need" to be fixed. As someone very interested in purchasing a fixer-upper, that list is a gray area of what is "unsafe" versus what could be left for me to fix and reduce the selling price. Let's dig in a bit and figure out a good strategy.
