What happens if your developer/GC friend bails on the project or screws up and you have to finish with a third-party?

Fear of a market crash, fear of negative cash flow, fear of humiliation by one's family "we told you it was a bad idea"The reality is, you'll hit some bumps in the road, but it is very hard to really screw up BIG with REI as long as you buy quality assets and don't completely fail at managing the property i.e. too lazy to fill vacancies..Ironically it is that fear that will make you buy a cheap property instead of a good one, because you "feel" that a lower price will curb your risk.And fear will make you accept a marginally qualified tenant because you are worried there won't be a better one next week.

You can get tamper-proof shower heads that cannot be "screwed off" ... many manufactures produce one or more such models.We install low-flow shower heads (1.25 - 1.5 USG/min) in all our units and have never had complaints or issues with tenants removing them.  

To add to this.Whenever I do a renovation and install new flooring I always screw down the existing subfloor before laying the new floor on top. 

I think parents can screw up their kids with our without money.

They think I’m out to screw them, so they call too late and miss the conversion periods on their policies and to keep that $60/month payment they miss the $200/month conversion payment and end up paying the $400/month new policy payment because their health has failed and they can’t go without the coverage.Do you think I make more money on a $100 whole life policy or a $400 term policy.  

Normally the buyer in these do not have significant risk, but in the case of negative equity if the loan gets called, the buyer is more screwed than normal.  

When you document their screw ups, they do not admit anything.

You screwed up by not addressing this before leasing the space.2.

I am still probably a year or two away from getting this fully started but rather know as soon as possible the amount of ways I can get screwed with my pants on before I actually pull the trigger. lol
