Problem is it would have to be "under the table".

I think of it as having a quick sure sale but leaving a little $ on the table.

First, did you leave a written offer on the table with an experation date?

Putting a picnic table at the house site and clearing some views would be a big help.

It needs roughly 45k in repairs from my estimates and I think a total of roughly 125k is needed to complete the deal (includes a 4 month hold and generous allowances for expenses).I have been looking at hard money and other construction loans and I have a couple decent options on the table.

The raw data is in table 4 in the linked page.

Try not to leave any money on the table and start on the high side, you can always go down.Chris

Unless the GC is bringing something else to the table besides doing the work -- for example, money or the deal -- I don't see much reason to pay the GC anything more than what it would cost to hire him to do the work.Sounds like this GC is trying to take advantage of you...Ask yourself this question: If you were to hire a GC to just do the work (like this guy would be doing), how much would you be paying him?

I did this knowing that the bank already had an offer on the table that they had countered, that offer expired today.

Anthony keeps stating things like "on here" on postig, etc. giving the illusion that this spam is being promoted on BP.If it were, it would get deleted immediately.Anthony, you should save us all a lot of time and headaches by ceasing to bring this kind of crap to the table.
