Im purchasing a house and it is in need of carpet, trim and other drywall remediation to be in "average" condition. It is currently in "fair" condition. The bank needs to know how much it will cost to repair, so they can get me to put $ into an escrow account for the eventual repairs. They wont finance me on the place until this happens.
What I need: 2 quotes from contractors, and they dont even have to be licensed. I dont care if you send me some arbitrary numbers on a piece of letterhead, i could really give a fuck about the bank. They have been jerking me around for awhile, and im ready to be done with it and move in, or just let this place drop and tell all parties involved to eat a dick. I will be doing the repairs myself, but I need quotes. If you want to look at the place, that can be arranged as well.
I know there is probably no incentive to do this as a contractor, but you will score 1 million cool points with me, as well as a favorable Consumer Report, and dibs on any work if I decide I dont want to do the repairs myself.
