The information available in the Bigger Pockets community is clearly invaluable and I am grateful that all of you are out there and willing to share your knowledge and experience.

They are extremely informative.

I've listened to a bunch of podcasts, read forums, and watched videos on Bigger Pockets and have enjoyed the wealth of information I've taken in.

It's difficult answering this based on the information you gave.

I understand that it's also possible to sell directly to a buyer who doesn't mind that the property might have unclear title; you just have to disclose all.Please keep us informed about how it goes for you!

@Jonas DeVita - I'm laughing because I did a search based on your recommendation and was able to cobble together six pieces of contact information from six different websites about your guy in Garwood. 

Most states include things like abandoning a job, requiring certain information on contracts like license numbers, estimated time to start and complete, description of the job, etc.

You should have him fill out an information sheet and get a photo of his license either way.
