So sadly, many investor/customers have no protection via the GF, but penalties and the right to pursue legal action may remain (and as noted above, the chances of success in action may be improved if hiring a licensed contractor over an unlicensed one).

Morgan).While I was never a real fan of this builder, it is sad to see another company fall down.

It is sad to see this trend, because I have seen good people passed up simply because they don't have a degree.

The order was placed online and sadly an inaccurate shipping address was provided.

By the way, even if you double your money but it takes 50 years, that's a horrible investment too, which will set up backwards because of inflation.Fast forward to today and, sadly, while Nicaragua would have the potential to be the next Costa Rica, it has made little progress towards that over the last decades and it could even be argued that it's gone backwards.

It's sad to say - but I overwhelmed myself to the point that I could not move forward and, at best, only left and right (Shiny Object Syndrome).

I would be little sad also watching you laughing all the way to the bank $$$$$$ lolI have not yet done STR but once there the goal is to give excellent product, customer service.

I see your point, if you take no cash flow - it seems like you could argue with the IRS that you had no 'income' - but sadly I think that's an argument you would lose every time.

@Denise Cagle it's sad how these scams are set-up to take advantage of people.  

I've been in the mold remediation business for more than 40 years and it is a sad story when tenants blame both mold and the landlords for their health issues.If you was really truthful with this mold issue, and you are not, then when it comes to such horrible health issues as you claim then any person with common sense would move the same day they thought mold was causing their health to deteriorate.Shame on you for blaming what appears to be mold without testing, for blaming your landlord without doing testing and for remaining in the unit regardless of whether or not you have a lease.I had another screwball tenant who had just moved into a studio apartment.
