I am great at managing people I work in HR I feel I have great communication and organizational skills to bring to the table. 

Communicate with your wholesaler if a challenge comes up prior to closing.  

He blatantly lied in all communications about the place.

Although my wife is emotionally tied to the home I am only tied to the equity which is making no money for me now.

You don't want to end up making an emotionally charged financial decision that could end up with a negative outcome.I would first make a list of all my expenses and try to cut out what I don't need. 

This is just a business deal, no emotions for me... there will be others and its just how it works.Also found they have a section 8 tenant on a month to month (that I was going to remove anyway) that has been in violation of section 8 rules (additional occupants)... the Housing Authority has been looking for proof adn now I have it (the seller said in writing that they have been doing this for at least two years).

They are really good at communicating with you once you reach out to them and the CEO has reached out to me several times over my various concerns.

Thoughts, mixed with faith, and emotion, become things.  

The problem is, this guy refuses to communicate with me.

Communicate with your contractor often, do your research, visit the project regularly, and pay all your bills on time, and hopefully you'll build a strong partnership/relationship that you're both happy with at the end of the project.Good luck!
