As @Terry Ouimet said...when you start off a project (or anything in life) from a bad/illegal foundation, it will never be right2) Yes absolutely we need to bring back or start anew with a proper green card/work visa program so we can get all of the LEGAL help we need in this country.

.- The tenant buyer may decide to not exercise the option or may decide to terminate the lease early which may produce a profit less than the projected returns.- The money partner is not the only owner of the company which owns the property and thus has limited decision making over the property.

I have been working with my contractor about 23 years now and when we get involved in a project I go to the site at least 4-5 times per week.

Ask them if they have any projects they are seeking hard money on.

In real estate its messy and there are always repairs and capX projects that seemingly pop up from time to time.

I have flipped 30 houses, including having 10 projects going simultaneously, one of which sold for $1.8 million.

My rule of thumb when walking with contractors is if they talk more about themselves and past projects compared to what they will do on this project thats a hard no. 

Fast forward four months later and $30,000 in renovations, and the project was still not completed.

Project scope:  Moving some walls around, three headers,  remodeling bathrooms, adding bathrooms, and adding a kitchen. 

Last month, I was projecting to see the inventory numbers rise with seasonality and get a slight bump from Hurricane Helene, but that has proven to not be the case.
