I called my contractor and he told me that one of the subs was putting in a nail and missed hitting him in the head with a hammer by mistake.

I'm looking to connect and network with general contractors in Syracuse, Ny.

If I'm reading you right, you have a fully executed contract in which the seller agrees to pay for certain expenses / repairs, and is now refusing to pay for them.I'm also presuming that the $20K reduction was within the contractually allowed due diligence period and was agreed to by the seller within that same period.If that's correct, the seller is in breach of contract.Your attorney should contact the seller and give them the option of performing to the contract or being sued for "specific performance".  

We are planning to do a price reduction and thought to host an "investors" open house to invite investors and their contractors to come and take a look.

(with a single gas and electric meter)I am looking for some expert who could help me rezone this and  convert this to condos  or multiple units with separate meters.Please recommend

He gave the name of a contractor named CURTIS L.

Let me ask this: How are you going to hold a non licensed contractor accountable IF something happens?

Estimates are just that but real numbers from real properties or real contractors will be helpful. 

You can cherry pick who you want to reach out to.REIAs are another great place to find realtors, lenders, contractors, other investors, etc.Best of luck to you!

Naturally, there is a benefit to HVAC and Electrical contractors.
