Our guy came in at 23,000 for full foundation repair, and as I did diligence on the rest of their estimates on repair they consistently came in short; our GC separately confirmed and even informed me I was low tooComps in the area came in at 141 per square foot, which at our square footage means we would have sold for about 320,000Hard money was to expensive as well so we are currently working out other options so we never have to consider that option again.So all expenses included with no major surprises we would have been all in for around 340 to 345,000, which meant a loss of 20-25,000 if we went off of price per square foot as per a realtor, or best case if it sold for appraisal value we might have made 8-10,000.
