Renegotiating a contract
I have a contract with a seller, the house may need more repairs than originally thought.
Asking price was 160
FMV in as-is condition 170-180
ARV 220-240
My price 123
Original estimated repairs 20-25
New estimates 30-35k
Roof and asbestos siding may need work, and I was unaware of siding being asbestos
What are some tactics I can use to get the price down?
I would like to be in the 117-119k range
This will be an owner occupied home.
Thanks for any tips!
