Friggin house
May. 23rd, 2008 08:29 pmWe asked the owners to contibute 4,490.00 to the cost of replacing the roof and the breaker panel.
They said no, not for the price we were going to pay for it. But, they would take the higher cost of the home (214,000 instead of 206,000) and give us 8,000.00 back at closing. We decided that worked for us. Now to get it in writing so I feel comfortable to having an appraisal done and request our loan documents to be modified to reflect the higher loan cost.
Then decide if we want to pay for the roof upfront or finance it and have more money for our vaca. One of the first things to get done will be replace the breaker panel (that and buy paint).
