@Andrew PostellWhen I go to close the deal on the purchase do I bring a check that is from the LLC, then after file the dead with the court house?

He insists that he does not want to and is not going to live there now and went to the courts today and got a protective order against her.   

The court date is the 22nd and I might get a default judgement if they are a no show.So the real question is what to expect from Xcel.

I saw that Crazy documentary long time ago and it’s crazy how the authorities/court don’t even recognize these as bogus.  

Review the contract for terms and procedure for default, if any are written.8- Keep a copy of their refusal to complete the work as Contractor Default, keep the final $5k as contractor default.9- Pay the new contractor to fish the job, let the Old contractor deal with trying to get the last 5k from small claims court, which they will likely fail to achieve.PS yes I blew past “what if permits are not signed off as complete” thats a PITA of its own thread.

Laminate is absolutely fine as far as function and pretty much in durability.

I think the best you can probably do here is sue them in small claims court to keep your costs at a minimum.

Once in awhile, some internal person makes a mistake and there is a slight delay.The bigger problem is screening S8 tenants to get one that pays THEIR part of the rent on time and takes decent care of the property.We just had eviction court today with a tenant not paying their rent portion AND deliberately causing damages, so their home failed the S8 inspection.

Maintenance/cap ex is primarily a function of unit features and tenant quality and not a function of the rent.  

However, if you want to go after the balance and you have an eviction judgement from the court, you can higher an attorney to find legal means of collections, such as garnishment.
