I did not come back to revisit this post from so long ago.I did not buy this property. 

We almost went with a loan that we have to pay all the cost upfront and then get reimbursed on the back end and that was just not something we were willing to do.

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

We had our wedding in the back yd, grew the family and added onto the house making it roughly 1600 sf 3 bed 2 bath.

So even though our right better get half back then none and or be in the hole like your experiencing.

The 90% they are paying you back is probably 1/3 of what they're actually making by you committing to a deal.

Could you kindly get back to us with the details?

If you approach the conversation by first finding out their goals, then you can back into a strategy that will work for the both of you.

Kind of like asking if people like cars pro/con; then finding out later you're a car salesperson; versus Truck/Motorcyle/Mass transit.Read back through my comment and yours, we said the same thing. 

Also had to replace fuse panels to make it work - going back and forth with the city was dificult.
