@Alejandra Stack Nobody is right now, the Department of Veterans Affairs themselves are the ones who put the brakes on the renovation loan.

How many work on their own cars to change the oil, brakes, etc.? 

@Megan DettenmaierSad to say, but you may be liable if he brakes his leg rehabbing your property, but unless you assured the security of his tools, he is out of luck.My insurance covers loss of my tools as well as many other things.

Almost anybody can, but they also need to learn to steer and brake.

If your loan is fixed with fixed payment usually there is a set % of the principle you allowed to pay down on top of you monthly set payments. if you structured your loans that some are fixed and some on variable rates often you can pay down the variable (not fixed rate) as much as you want. but it depends on the fine print in the loan documents.One more option is to pay a penalty on the fix rate to "brake the loan" and then you can split it and pay some off.

That quad I mentioned for example lost hardly any value last crash but definitely put the brakes on any appreciation for multiple years.

The one exception to this, is if a competing building is near and holds rents flat, then it puts a brake on how much I will raise rents.   

Here are a few of the negative highlights: In the state of California it is braking the law for him to do any work for someone where the labor and materials is over $500.

Hopefully, if that closing would have moved forward, the both of them would have put the brakes on the deal when they were asked to sign a document that stated they were owner occupants.  

They rate the towing capacity as 1650lbs, or 3750lbs if the trailer has brakes.
