Contractor ran off with my Money.

[Javaras Thomas]

Hello,  

Maybe someone can help me. I Hire a contractor to do a full rehab on a 6 unit building I bought about 6 months ago, we worked together on a duplex I also own and he did great. After earning my trust I let him start on the big job, I am also an OFS investor so I was gambling by not being there. first couple of weeks he was updating me every other day. all of a sudden he ghosts me. no calls, texts, or emails. what should I do in this situation? can anyone help or provide some advise?
