I definitely intend to lock up tightly, install a security system perhaps and get the ball rolling on rehab ASAP.

My attorney hasn't mentioned anything about this and he appears to be pretty on the ball.

There are a few deals I am looking into at the moment and need the capital to get the ball rolling. 

My contractor is 3 months behind completing a house I am building as a rental...he dropped the ball his words on getting the electric pole and meter box scheduled...so now there is no power for at least another 6 weeks...he said he can pass the CO by hooking up a generator and then I have to pay him the final draw...that can't be right can it...how can he pass a CO with a generator...I know I can call the county on Monday just curious if anyone has heard of this ? 

I also understand it's the sellers best interest to do all this and she is just playing hard ball.

Company acknowledged that they "dropped the ball" and working on fixing their internal processes to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Subsequently, they dropped the ball.

But I'm in the ball park! 

Anyway, find one will give you their ball park expectations and criteria (preferably in writing), which should help your confidence in the deal-making process.If you've found the right Realtor/s, the deals should then start to flow.

Approaching owner to carry is my first plan, he seems like he might play ball, but if not, how would anyone here suggest funding?
