Then clean up or subdivide and sale.   

They were unable to do so and have ostensibly walked away from the project leaving their partners to clean up the mess.

The good news, there are usually solutions and options for you to explore. 

Just be the absolute best host you can be for the first year -- communicate clearly and quickly, make sure cleaning is top-notch, make sure all amenities work (hot tub is hot, TV remotes have batteries, etc. etc.)

Its like the Airbnb that says $20 a night but when you click its $100 cleaning fee. 

There thinking some clean-up-fairy comes swooping in with a broom, washes the ashes away and then Bob The Builder n all his friends comes hot on the hells, Bing-Bang-Boom all is rebuilt and were singing kumbayas by Christmas.......Reality is it took about 10 years to rebuild post katrina. 

Have them clean up, Paint, and learn. 

So it really just comes down to figuring out what solution works for a given market, but it's yet another great thing about real estate: having options!

When I looked at the house they kept it very clean.

I feel this gives me the flexibility to find the right solution for my client and not just sell what my bank offers.
