Am in negotiations with a seller of a home with a below ground oil tank in New Jersey.The seller agrees to remove the tank prior to closing,while the heating system depends on the tank.Should I also insist on a new heating system as well or is removal sufficient?If I don't insist on the new heating system prior to closing,is there a way to avoid problems,such as a pipe bursting,prior to me getting in there post close and having a new heating system installed?

If I were to receive the letter,I would not want it addressing my loss as I would think it cold and inappropriate. I would prefer the letter be brief and to the point.

Here are some examples of pricing I expect as a rehabber.This includes labor and materials.Too high,too low,about right?

New roof Architectural style rip and replace $4/sqft , gutters 1500 sqft $750,siding and sheer 1500sqft $10,000,exterior paint single family 1,500 sq ft $3,000,kitchen repair single family nice $5,500-$7,500,windows vinyl clad $250 each,full bath repair $2,500- $3,500,replace one hot air furnace or boiler $2,000 - $2,500 depending on size,carpeting $500 per average size bedroom.

Thank you,Liam!!

Thank you,James!!

What's the best way you have found to meet contractors, who know the rehab business and,more importantly,the pricing structure we need to have a successful rehab?
