Post inspection: still worth it?

Hi guys, I just finished reading my inspection report for a property down in Florida and to be frank it looks daunting. The water heater needs replacement, air handler filter is close to replacement along with the condensing unit, the dishwasher is inoperable, there is water damage below the sink, and the bathroom sinks have coating deterioration. Those are the main points; there are other smaller points, but I had anticipated them. How would you guys go about these issues? Are any of these deal breakers? Would you guys negotiate repairs at closing? Any wisdom is appreciated.

Why would you negotiate repairs at closing? Use the report as proof to reduce your offer even further. This is an investment property your'e talking about right?
