@Salome DitmarsThe advise you received on your post will take you some time to process.

I've seen so many forum posts advising NOT to give any money to contractors upfront - because so many people have been ripped off by contractors. 

As a private money broker, I strongly advise real estate investors to be cautious and avoid any lender that requests upfront cash payments.

A piece of advise if he lays hands on you or your son immediately go to court and see if it qualifies for a peace order or similar. 

The contract must contain:the contractor’s name, address and telephone numberthe approximate start and completion date, including any contingencies that would change the completion datea description of the work to be performed and the materials to be provided to the consumer, including make; model number or any other identifying information; and the agreed-upon price for the work and materialsa notice advising you that you have three business days to cancel the contract, unless during an emergency you waive the right in writinga notice that all payments received by the contractor prior to completion of the contract work must be deposited in an escrow account

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

After a 1031, waiting 6–12 months before a cash-out refinance is generally advisable to avoid scrutiny on intent.
