And sign a bunch of extra legalese stating that GC is not responsible for anything that occurred as a result of work performed prior to such and such a date.You will probably find someone, but I wouldn't take the first anxious GC that comes along, because an experienced GC will be very leery about getting involved at this point (and they shouldn't need the work anyway)

The only thing I could think of is maybe if they have a very small % of ownership in the building (and I mean maybe 5% or so) and they take more of a payout up front and less of a payout as the property performs and appreciates; but again a good operator realizes that having equity in an asset is valuable so I'd be cautious of this type of setup.
