How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Hi - This is a pseudo-continuation of my previous post with purchasing a house.

We purchased this foreclosure in December 2019.  

Is this accurate?

Google this subject and it takes you right to the lead certification site for Cleveland and you will also see where they provide a list of contractors already approved by the city to do the work and the certification.

Talk with your lender about this proposal...  1) Get a solid quote on the roof replacement and share it with your lender.    2) Put the funds in escrow with your bank for the sole purpose of replacing the roof.    3) Close on the property.    4) Install the roof.    5) Get reimbursed for roof expense out of escrow.Most banks are fine with something like this if they know their downside is covered.  

Thanks for any help on this.

And repeat this. 

Would love your thoughts on this Melanie
