Off market flip - Negotiating price after signed contract

Lanee Johnson
Posted

Hi Folks, 

We've been active investors for about 15 months, which makes us newbies :).  We just signed an assignment contract for our 3rd off-market property via a wholesaler.  This wholesaler was clear that their contract doesn't allow for a due diligence period. We did end up negotiating the price down after the initial walkthrough.  Our offer was accepted and we provided a nonrefundable $1k deposit , 10-day close. We do get inspections on any property we plan to purchase.  Due to the short offer period, we didn't get the inspection report back until a few days later.  No foundation issues, etc. but the inspection report did indicate the need to fully replace the HVAC system and all ductwork (we agree due to us flipping this property and needing to pass resale/buyers inspection). The rehab budget is a bit tight and we want to reserve our contingency for any other surprises.  

My question is: Should we attempt to renegotiate the price based on this new information? We're 7 days out from closing.  We are trying to balance building positive relationships with wholesalers (keeping our word) and looking out for our financial best interest. 

Thanks in advance for any insight.
