If you'd like to DM me I can connect you with our Finance Director and I'm sure we can come up with a competitive solution for you. 

Once you start to learn about more creative financing solutions it opens up a whole new world of opportunities, literally.

We have a meter and are monitoring the moisture.We got our permits for all three houses pretty quickly, they're taped up in the windows already.  

Unfortunately, I don't qualify.A note fund would be an interesting solution, but I don't think I yet qualify for that.The $11k would actually be 2018 contributions.I'll have to look more into the other options.Thanks again for quick input!

Other than the carpets, does the spot wash off with a cleaning solution?

I used a combination of all these sources to plan how to approach the seller and help them find a solution.

Can you please help me think of a solution?

PM sounds like a jerk.. and your stuck defending someone you hired to do the best job possible for you.. they dropped the ball and you need to further monitor what they are up do and doing by physically taking action and checking what's up.  

@Cathleen Ohannigan I am not sure if you found a solution to your dilemma.

I added some terms such as the ability to get back to $1200 if they pay the deferred balance (they pay online and can monitor their account balance).
