I will most likely end up doing a cash out refi, just wanted to make sure I though of every option before I start paying 5% on cash sitting in an account while I'm looking for more properties.

Some properties priced exorbitantly priced are sitting for 2 weeks or so.

The lender is your dentist or someone with cash sitting in a CD at the bank collecting dust.

But only seeing three topics (four including the ad) on my screen at a time makes it very inefficient to be a terrible employee and sit at my desk spewing nonsense into the internet on the clock.I think part of what I liked about the forums is that you had to read chronologically through the responses.

What you need is a guide in this, someone to sit down and go through a total assessment of all things.

Once there that passion does not just die and turn to "hey let's sit on a beach and wait to die", my version of hell is no longer being able to do the work, I actually enjoy it, I LOVE my "job".  

No recourse for us, only option is to reschedule and sit there and pay another 3 weeks of holding costs.Going back to the original question, you own the project, the payment schedule, and ultimately the actions of everyone involved in the project.

Once I take my dog for a walk, play with him, do some cleaning, and sit down to eat dinner, I'm usually brain dead for the day!

Also, if you do a cash out refinance and do not find a deal for an extended period of time, that is a lot of cash sitting around and losing value.

I'd say no since you're asking our opinion.Your practical options are:1) Sit down in a friendly setting with the Owner, ask him to open his books a little so you can see the hardship he is facing...negotiate a slightly lower profit margin for him, if he will and I'd think he might...no one wants to walk on a contract like this. 2) Walk away from this deal and find another Contr.
