Well, chance... That is kinda my idea... The seller is working for another contractor part time and because this is going to be a "short sale" we have elected to buy the house "as is"... Now that sounds scarey but having been in construction myself I understand purdy much what needs to be repaired and so I was thinkin' that nrather than try to hit these folks up for money that I'd let him fix a few things... Nuthin' major...

I donno... He has not even been approached about this being an option... Right now we are waiting on the seller and the bank to come to terms but I believe the shortage on his part will be less than $10,000 and no banker in his or her right mind is going to push foreclosure over that amount of money and risk loosing even more...

BTW... We'll be just a couple hours from Ashville...
