submiting offer tomorrow@!
sorry this laptop is hard to type on its small! Im putting in a offer on a home i want to live in tomorrow and putting my condo out on a lease option in a couple months. Curious to what you think. Im coming in at $65,000 cash and expect the bank to decline (if they dont good if they do thats what i expect) and i want it at about $80,000. But should i get a contractor friend of mine to give me a higher bid and a lower bid and send in the contractors estimate with the offer? Its a home a contractor was wroking on and went bankrupt! the bank owns it at $230,000 has it listed $100,000k less and cant even get one offer on it. I love the home and the area so if i can swing this deal like the last, im taking it. But to help convince them would an estimate bring them to earth?
