My wife and I bought our first home last summer, with the intention of eventually renting it out, and are currently looking for our next small property to get starting in this world of investing.

I think the guy my mom and aunt originally hired had good intentions but maybe this was out of his wheelhouse. 

When it comes to posting here, from what I've seen, I think most people's intentions are good.

The contractor also has a brother that worked for him, who is a very nice guy and I don't believe would intentionally leave someone hanging, but I've gotten the same responses from him (the work will be completed), but no progress has been made.What are my options, legally?
