Buying from an LLV

First time home buyer here. Looking at buying a home that I’ve learned is owned by an LLC since the beginning of this year. From public records last year it was owned by an older gentleman. I am wondering if it’s a good idea. Tried to look up the llc the only thing I can find is an address to another residential house here in TX. The hous was built in 1940s and was remodeled nicely, but still has some issues that need to be repaired from their inspection report- but it’s has a new roof, no leaks, and pier and beam foundation with some settling, nothing urgent. Their realtor/rep says seller put so much money into the remodel that the things such as crawl space barrier-they did not want to repair, they’re saying it’s the inspector’s job to find things and every little thing doesn’t need to be fixed. They did fix some of the things. But nothing major came up on their report, other than asbestos siding and it’s been painted over. No word on if it was replaced. I will have my own inspection, but I’m Leary about buying from an LLC. they were hard to budge with negotiation and verbally agreed with my realtor that I would pay full list price for the house, they would pay less than half of closing $4k, (we initially asked for 9000, then 5000”they said no)and they will pay for title. Their reasoning they put so much money into the remodel it wasn’t worth it to them to give that much concession for closing, so they’ve agreed to 4k. The house is 215000, 7.7% 30 year fixed. By the way home insurance is insane- but this is coming from someone who has only had to pay renters insurance anyway…why’d? I’m sure my lender will also do theirs appraisal.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
