HELP! Front Porch Concrete Cracked & Sinking
22 January 2019 | 13 replies
Hi Kim,The house is screaming for a proper proper porch/entry with a portico... it would completely transform the front facade and give the house some much-needed curb appeal.That said, with your extremely limited budget, the next best solution would be build a MUCH bigger wood porch over the existing one (no demo cost, and it's below the entry treshold) that extends a few feet farther into the yard from the house, and if you can afford it, to the far right small window.Either way, build two simple fat columns at the corners of the porch that would be about a foot higher than the railing, and positioned just outside the two smaller windows flanking the entry door.Then, paint the entry door a deep, very rich burgundy.It probably would exceed your super-tight budget, but would absolutely be worth the investment.

I estimated $20K rehab because of the siding and because I want a nice, fat rehab budget (for the area) in case something goes wrong or we've missed something horrible, but the circumstances of the selling suggest that there's nothing really wrong with the house, the company is just pulling out of the area.

Banks do not want or appreciate any changes to the contract and attempting them is a great way to get your deal cancelled or hear a big fat NO.In fact, I made a recent offer to a bank with mostly all cash, small amount of financing and my business entity was the buyer, but my pre-qual letter was in my persoanl name (of course).
