She called me and wants to work out a deal.

I hope you're next one is easier and that you work out a better deal with the contractor.

I don't have any specific info about them, I basically just glanced at them and moved on - I don't think the numbers really work out.

Timeline is getting tight, but my agent has a couple of properties that hopefully will work out.

The obvious advantages to doing this are knowing the value before the property is listed, and also repairing any issues that the appraiser might find well ahead of time.So my questions are, has anyone gone this route before and how did it work out?

Not only will you get an excellent cardio workout, but you will be able to defend yourself and have that extra level of confidence that you may or may not need.

I've found both lenders and equity partners on BP (for quite a bit of money), with other opportunities that didn't work out because I didn't have use for the money at the time it was available.

Theory is people who have read about things and offer an opinion on how things will work out.

Is it possible to work out a deal where the buyer can owner finance the profit to the seller overtime?

Really take the time to vet the company you are hiring (ask other builders, renovators), check their credential, their association memberships and certifications/licences (in Canada you need to be certified) and whether they offer a full removal (and replacement) warranty / guarantee {removing a bad spray foam job is an intensive bit of work}.Hope this helps.
