Do I need a lawyer!?
Backstory : we entered into a deal that guaranteed us payout over a year ago. We've tried to be patient because the guy we're doing the deal with ran into a bunch of permitting issues. But it's been 2 months since he's even picked up our calls and answered our texts.
What's our next move? We are in 2nd position on the home.

First of all, thanks for being brief- I am sure there is much more to this story, but you've given just enough info to start a conversation. Secondly- yes, I think you do, but I wouldn't jump to foreclosure right away. Hire a lawyer that you trust and ask them to make a few calls for you, maybe write a very clear letter and see what kind of response you get. I've found that sometimes just having an attorney reach out can open up a conversation again, and it might save you the grief and time of having to push through to foreclosure. Good luck!
