Closing date, and HVAC!

Good news: The bank also informed us this week that we can shoot for July 13 as a closing date!

The only major flaw with the building as discovered by the inspection was the HVAC system. Well, I'm an optometrist.. not a handyman. So I had to figure out roughly what this would cost me. I called one A/C company and really played dumb and had him come out to the property and give me a bid. He quoted me $9500 to replace my split system units.

Well I used this information to help leverage my position. I then sent this bid over to the seller/broker and said that this added expense would be tough for us. To make this a win-win situation, I asked for a credit-at-closing in exchange for closing on the building quickly. Suprisingly, the seller agreed.

So when I close on the building for 286,000.. I will also recieve a credit for $7000.
