So yes, this is my first time having a contractor leave towards the final stage of a project as other work that I've done are minimal like fence repairs, deck replacements, sink repairs, hvac etc.

Dont hide behind your cell phone don't leave the stupid for faster response text me.

It's all the agents that leave your lights and heat/a.c. on and doors wide open.  

The LLC also gives you the ability to write off expenses associated with the property that you could not do as a personally owned house.My 2 cents would be to leave it the way it is and not transfer it.  

This cost was already deducted, leaving available funds at the aforementioned 160k after the build.

So it’s beginning to sound more like they may have all been working together.The SIGNED HUD by all parties we were provided didn’t have the prior lien holder on it, so there is certainly deception, fraud there for knowing but intentionally leaving it off the hud by the attorney for sure and not disclosing it, but otherwise no, I’ve not confirmed yet if this was all of them working together or just gross negligence on her end and then a situation between borrower and lender no one at the time knew of that just happened to be multiple issues that were later discovered because of one mistake of the closing attorney when the lender and borrower might have thought it legit was closing and no one would have known and then all would have been fine.and yes, TO THE PENNY, the amount they needed from me ended up to be the EXACT amount which was then wired to the lender to satisfy their lien, BEFORE FORECLOSURE BTW. 

It could be possible they tried to collect rent, and with the tenant knowing she's leaving, chose to not pay.

Our economy is complex, stating that a single indicator can predict the future is like reading tea leaves. 

Anyone new that is not in your network gets ‘silenced’ and they have to leave a message or are ignored.

I simply thought putting it out there in the Forum might keep someone from unknowingly buying something that might leave you out to dry.
