Yes rent control is a pain in *** and there are tenants who haven't paid.

(after several more painful back and forths about her not having one, I tell her where there is a plunger she says I don't know how to use one........ my landlord used to come over at my last rental..... so basically you are telling me your last landlord helped you use a plunger and you still don't know how...   

I feel your pain :(

It's painful to say, but move on and lesson learned. 

As a borrower you want to know how a lender will handle the construction loan administration including draws, contingent fund releases etc.,  and you will get a better feel for this if you’re directly communicating as opposed to going through an intermediary.

LOL So now each of my LLC's that has a different project has to have the developers license. its a pain there is no test but its a bond and insurance and not every one can get bonded these days.I know having done a lot of work in Chicago how tough that city can be as well.. no one is going to teach you this you just kind of learn it.so bottom line unless this person has some very narrow niche // or its just a raw raw thing to motivate you  chances are there is nothing unique and I am not talking about getting rich with tax overages or some of the other things that get recirculated constantly.
