During the Maverick Investment Group webinar, ABC Baltimore made the following guarantees that were also in our final contract with ABC Baltimore-1) If the rehab takes longer than 120 days, the seller (ABC Baltimore) will pay us a rental guarantee of $1400 per month.2) If the house after rehab is completed appraises for less than our total purchase price of $106,000 then the seller will buy the house back.Assured by these guarantees in the contract, we signed the contract for $106,000.
