We didn't have many issues:
1) Windows didn't all open and didn't have locks
2) Small dead tree in the backyard, could fall on the roof
3) One set of french doors in the master didn't open good
4) Couple galvanized pipes
5) Some sections of gutter need replacing.
6) Electric units not grounded.
7) Then some other misc items that I can't remember

We asked them to fix:
~Make sure all the windows open and have locks
~Removal of tree
~Fix french doors.

The rest DH can do, really he could have done it all. The inspector said the galvanized pipes look fine, but they do rust from the inside out. We got a quote and since the majority have already been done, it won't be expensive. So we will replace in a year or two, when we get to that phase of finishing the basement.

We had some termite damage. There were no actual termites, just evidence that there had been. The seller repaired the damage and we also got her to have a chimney cap installed.

Not too many, the inspector said it was one of the best houses he'd seen in a while.

1) Replace a few of the double-pane windows that had leaking seals
2) Seal up a gap between the a/c hose and where it entered the house
3) Leaking sprinkler head ***which ended up being a leak in the main water main, so you can't go by just what the inspector said! We also ended up with a freon leak in our A/C unit, which he wouldn't have caught b/c that's not what they look for!

We asked the sellers to pay for all, but ended up them paying for the a/c seal and us getting the windows done, which were under warranty so we didn't pay much!

We had a whole pile of minor issues and some larger electrical issues.

Our garage was really poorly wired. Some runs were done with cut up extension cords not proper wire. We had them re-wire the garage but should have pushed to have them fix a few things in the house too. DH spent a lot of hours tracing wires and de-bugging a few switches.

Otherwise it was just a lot of maintenance and cosmetic issues like rot of brick molding, more insulation needed in the attic, drippy plumbing under the sink. We opted to fix these issues ourselves.

we walked away from a house after the inspection =( the main issue was an addition that wasn't built properly. there was to basement under it, it was floating, but the insulation under wasn't properly supported so it was sagging and there was moisture that caused rot under the floors in that part of the house but because the addition was too low to the ground you couldn't access it from below to repair you had to tear it out from the top, which meant tearing out the kitchen and a bathroom completely and going down below the floor, then rebuilding the whole area after building a proper base for the addition. which would cost more than the addition in the first place! i was pretty sad to walk away =(
