All depends on what your goals are and what market fits your game-plan/criteria 

I met a contractor through the project that's become a solid 1st call for my next flip and a good friend in the process.

What are your goals for 2025?

Ideally, my goal would be to get $40-45k equity back out.

 @Sri Reddy it all depends on your goals.

There are tons of loans out there that use just the projected or actual income from a property vs the payment of the property (DSCR loans). 

Do you have an excel spreadsheet with actual numbers and projections?

Let them build through hard work like teaming with reputable operator who may take a cut but own the project etc.Neal Bawa and associated companies are another bunch or lier’s who project rosy picture to sign up people but fial to deliver.Those two have made my experience with real estate very companies very negative.

How much additonal money do they need to finish/complete the project?   

The bones were solid, but it was a project.
