Time to team up with a great REI attorney, ours gets back immediately, answers his cell & texts & has on occasion taken calls from is on a Sunday.

Also, just get a 1-800 number which can be forwarded to your home phone or cell.  

I have great credit thanks to the myfico forums and a total credit limit of $14,000 I have no debt and just pay my cell phone bill and the Verizon triple play package bill for my household which totals about $200 a month.

Heloc is cheapest among everything as you have trapped capital you can use assuming it's your primary residence you should have the home sale exclusion on gain anyway.Sorry I'm on my cell phone in the city.  

If they can't make the next rental open house, we prescreen with a few questions, if they meet those prescreen questions (min credit score, 3x income, # persons, pets) we require they confirm an hour before the showing by answering ther cell phone, we tell them up front if they don't confirm the showing we won't be meeting them.

So far you've risked nothing but you have an opportunity you can leverage into meaningful experience that will help you next time if this one doesn't add up.I've seen situations like this where the house represented such bad blood, the seller wanted to lose money to punish his ex.Good luck!

Doing it in Brooklyn is too capital intensive for my blood.

hah thanks guys. theres no such website where i can find cell phone numbers is there?

If he actually complains he doesn't have a picture/video of that ask him why not, since everyone has cameras on their cell phones these days and if your contractor was using that much water there should have been plenty of time to get pictures/video of it.

I download them to my cell phone and listen while I drive.
