However you must sign a affidavit stating you are not contracting any work out and doing all the work yourself.

Sometimes even after a referral a GC may not work out for you.Truth is you probably won't know if a GC is good until after you have gone through the bidding process with several companies, hired one and have them do at least some amount of work for you. 

You can always use that as leverage to work out a deal that will help the sale go through, despite the delay.

I'm trying to work out some creative financing for a massive historical renovation that has gone a bit over budget.

You can workout the #s so that the realtors still get paid what they would have been for the full price.I am bit confused with what you are stating.

Hello All,I haven't refinanced my home in a while(8yrs), I am still on the 6% 30 hr Fixed, Last time I tried, didn't workout as the company I was trying to refinance through, mentioned my Credit score was low(~620) and since I had 2 late payments within the last year., etc.

If that doesn't work out I have other options that would not require me to rent another place until I found the right place to purchase.

Hello Fellow BP FriendsThe seller is asking for a non refundable escrow deposit of 3k as they feel we will try to wholesale and it may not work out. 

I recommend to my clients to enjoy the fruits of the STRs while plentiful but dont purchase a property if the numbers do not work out as a long term rental.

(Not saying that's what you're up to, but rather just trying to explain the other point of view.)As an investment strategy, consider selling immediately if your refi doesn't work out.
