Advice needed on Flip Disaster
Need some much needed advice and path forward. I bought a wholesale property last January using a hard money loan with 80k in renovations. My General Contractor ended up being a horror story and stole money as well as the AC unit. She used unlicensed contractors and was served with a Stop Work order from the city. After she received the stop worker order she stopped responding and pulled all of the contractors who were working on the job. The house is about 70% complete but still needs electrical, plumbing, and AC brought up to code and the finish out to be completed. I have had a couple of estimates to complete this work and it ranges anywhere from 40k to 75k. What do I do? I dont have enough capitol to get it list ready. I am not sure if selling to a wholesaler would be feasible as we owe 151k on the loan with the ARV being in the 250k range. I also dont have enough cash on hand to hire a lawyer to go after the contractor at this time (I doubt she has the assests anyway). Please help
