But either way, the solution needs to be written into the PSA.Never leave anything to "commonly known"!

I'm leaning toward continuing to drop the price and get rid of it but worried that price won't be the solution.

The short-term solution is working with a partner or more expensive contractor that can make-up for this deficiency.

By switching up the types of mailings over a sustained period of time, you increase your response rate.

Solution - you have to sell in order to get that downpayment money and qualify.However if they did in fact take into account your mortgage debt and you both still qualify for 417k then you could do something like a HELOC, 2nd mortgage, or just refinance to get cash out, without selling.

They consult and offer solutions (education and legal forms, compliance procedures/manuals, etc) for small retailers, and I expect I will proceed with them.Ken also explained the bond issue, but thanks for explaining that anyway....it had me sort of stumped for a second. 

Hope to finance about 10-12 of these per year.Do you offer any financing solutions for this situation?

I'm looking for a durable flooring solution and I think Allure deserves me giving it a try in my next project.

If he can't provide you with contractors then I would be seriously suspect of the engineer's solution.

I'm great at answering challenging questions with creative solutions.
