I would give them a deadline of 30 days to make it right or take them to small claims court and file a complaint with the State board.I would also go after the previous owner in small claims court, demanding compensation for 15 days of rent, reimbursement of the November rent, as well as the cost of cleaning and repairs after his move out.

Trading and negotiating / mediation is not an option as I have asked for a modest reimbursement of some of the money I put into the business and a deadline to refinancing.

That link generated a measly few thousand a year in consulting fees which I considered reimbursement for the content and time I contributed to this site.

The other method is to have somebody totally new (and clueless) provide a testimonial to get some reimbursement of their money paid originally to that guru.

Technically, it would make more sense to find a hard money lender and pay him 8-12%, but then there would be points involved and a down-payment, so that doesn't really vibe with our plan to put 0 money down.Our gross profit after taxes, insurance, and PM, will be about $300 a month, which we'll need to save up for repairs.Since repairs are reimbursed on the sale, our actual monthly return is about $300 a month, which I think is fair for no money down.There is a chance of flipping this house within a year, but we'll see where the market takes us.

I can see that, in Florida, limited to a Tax Deed auction, where they would need to redeem/reimburse to buyer the full purchase price if they wanted to pursue.

If she is being reimbursed it is a different story then you would need to check her

Rather than start out new books with a CPA, I'm hoping to hire an accountant for a financial audit going as far back as possible, to confirm the unfortunate workflow (expenses paid from various personal accounts, unreliable reimbursements from building accounts, etc). 

. * pay for incidentals from company funds, anything "ordinary and necessary" (this says if you made $1000 but had $250 of expenses, Uncle Sam only taxes you on $750 profit) * reimburse driving mileage (you can't go overboard and call your call a business vehicle until you've reached a large threshold of usage) * you can use your company's funds to pay your continued educational expenses BEFORE tax (there's a max $, check your state for differences in the law) * fund your IRA (check your state's laws, also) * elect when your tax year begins (if you choose to be taxed as a corporation; this loses other benefits; you'll also need a 2nd owner just to exercise this option)Anyone who dismisses and bemoans an LLC as just a pass-through entity has never stopped to understand its benefits.

Encourage your potential borrowers to do the same, perhaps for an hour at your expense, reimbursed if they do a deal with you.
