Correct me if i am wrong but didnt 50 years ago ALL home buyers had to put down like 20% and have jobs and pay their bills on time?

Bankruptcy isnt a ding, its a head on collision.

most subs pretty much want the house all to themselves. Good luck with getting the electrician to work on one floor and the plumber the other. In reality, construction isn't a finely choreographed dance. Don't believe what you see on TV.

How much volume are you doing that you can guarantee full employment year round? Thats easy to do in July but hard to do in January. I have run big construction crews before and it is great when the work is plentiful but workflow isnt a steady stream. I did my own projects as well as did subcontracting gigs. Eventually, if you have a big crew, you find yourself working for them instead of them working for you. You end up taking jobs that you might otherwise pass on just to keep them busy. These jobs tend to end up being the pita jobs and the money losers. if subcontracting out the work is costing you that much then maybe you are using the wrong subs. If you are doing a high volune business and have a well organized job and pay promptly, subs will be eager to work for you and give you their best pricing. Even in a busy time, smart subs will give you great service and pricing because they know its about a long term relationship.

Refuse to close until the work is done to your satisfaction. Make the problem all their's.

Seems like the same should apply to being your own real estate agent.

i would be inclined to go with the evaluation of the contractor. Many home inspectors are merely handymen who took an online course and paid the money and took the test. They always defer to a licensed tradesmen if anything dosent look just right to them. This comes from either/or a lack of knowledge or shielding themself from liability.

Tell her that you actually saw the ghost and threw open the freezer compartment door and shooed the ghost in there and slammed the door shut. Next day you took out the frozen mist and donated it to the neighbors so they could make margaritas with it for their 4th celebration. 

Why is the IRS owed for a medicare lien? Wouldnt the IRS have to agree with the amount of the sale?

The first thing is that he isnt going to get a lawyer because he probably cant afford one. If he can he probably wont pony up the money because he knows he will probably lose. Call his bluff.
