You are correct, hard work needs to be rewarded. 

He threatened me if I'm not paying him he gonna put lien on my property, I've never encounter these thing in my whole life...He seems very cold blood and likes to take his client to court or put lien on the property, looks like he had done these stuff many times in his career...I just don't suggest you to work with him for the below reasons:1.He is never willing to communicate about the project progress and he just notify you that you have to pay for next-phase otherwise he will STOP the work and take all the stuff out2.He will never take responsibility on warranty or the stuff he had done, if you ask, that is all your fault, and you have to pay your own bills3.Finally if nothing of these lightly threaten works, he will say: "I will give you 3 days, if you don't pay me, I will put lien on your property, I will take you to the court"I never done business into this situation in my whole life, but it looks like that's how Robert Mincey makes money and if you work with him, you will probably end up like me with tons of sleepless nights...If there are any chance, in the future I will post my whole experience while working with him.Hope this helps!

Especially if you're buying correctly.

Taking a loan against your 401k/equity in your home is a good idea, but needs to be utilized correctly.

It's likely, you are being too tight on your comparables or not searching correctly.

Surprisingly, the new listing now appears correctly in the search results.

Asking in the correct forum will get a better response.Need a spreadsheet or form?

Keeping the communication open is key.

I like you can see stats on zillòw but many people are non responsive after you send the first communication.

You are correct.
