Now you can add that number to the sale price of the house  or ask your buyer to cut you a check , you work for them , not me . 

Are there things I should be looking for other than the cut they take?

Our house has not appreciated much since October 2022, and homes are moving very slowly in our area with frequent price cuts.

Is that consideration tied to the property or the house itself?

That doesn't cut it for me.

I've heard of properties being tied up in probate for over five years in my area. 

If one has put down 20% on an investment property, how can you get the full value out of that property so you can turn around and buy another? Borrowing 80% of the equity doesn’t seem to add up. I’d need 100%.

Competition is fierce and you can't cut corners in my opinion. 

@Chris Seveney is right....you will likely pay way more than you planned to finish the project, but in my opinion, the most important thing to do is stop the bleeding by finishing or cut off the arm completely by selling the property.  

One property with propane pool heat and just a gas fire place I used 1,150 gallons last year (x $3.29 a gallon).Do you have a large area needing grass cut or small area?
