... The 3 words that no one wants to here these days

whether it is during the inspection period of a home sale

or during an insurance renewal application

more and more times we are finding that there is work to be done

and since the cost of roofing materials

as well as construction labor

has risen dramatically

it can be a pricey problem

during a home sale

buyers and sellers are quite often forced

to do some sort of renegotiation of price and terms

other times the sale simply gets cancelled

and the roofing problem is temporarily unresolved

the owner is then left to sell the home AS IS

or do the repairs/replacement on their own

with the belief that they will net more money at the closing table

for the time and effort to address the roof concerns

once the roof has been completed

its likely that the roof portion of the insurance policy will be less costly

and provide some future benefit to the homeowner

but living in the times instant gratification

and the savings accumulating slowly over time

not everyone feels that the cost/benefit is ideal for them

today's show talks more about the scenarios that unfold
