Evaluate your situation, leverage what you know, learn what you need to, and execute on your level.

In the future, a) get a super detailed Scope Of Work and ironclad Contract. b) Do not pay more money as a progress payment than the amount of work that has been performed, that way you are never ahead of the Contr or vice versa.Your options (depending on how much he owes you) are Small Claims Court, the State Registrar of Contrs, and possibly the local DAs office or State AG if the amount is higher ($50k ish)Good luck, let us know what happens.

I've done my fair share of research, but I believe that having someone experienced to bounce ideas off of and receive feedback from would significantly accelerate my learning curve.I understand that relationships aren't one-sided, and I'm more than willing to contribute and assist in any way I can whether it's lending a hand with your projects, sharing resources, or simply providing updates on my progress.

Hi Matt, whenever evaluating an MTR market I would suggest looking at Furnished Finder, Airbnb/VRBO (30+ day stays), and Zillow to try and see what other online listings are available.

Rather most sellers don't keep good or any books so they don't know what their expenses are and most buyers of these units don't understand or know how to evaluate based on cap rates.

I know that there is a lawsuit in progress on this topic.
