I made my first post about 6 months ago, a lot has happened that has slowed progress but not stopped it.

I am interested to see how this thread progresses this Spring/Summer based on observed occupancies as well as if home prices stabilize or are reduced further if inventory increases.  

@Eric Kahn Gale Congrats on the progress and I will agree with the others above me saying that isnt a bad deal. 

In the future, a) get a super detailed Scope Of Work and ironclad Contract. b) Do not pay more money as a progress payment than the amount of work that has been performed, that way you are never ahead of the Contr or vice versa.Your options (depending on how much he owes you) are Small Claims Court, the State Registrar of Contrs, and possibly the local DAs office or State AG if the amount is higher ($50k ish)Good luck, let us know what happens.

I've done my fair share of research, but I believe that having someone experienced to bounce ideas off of and receive feedback from would significantly accelerate my learning curve.I understand that relationships aren't one-sided, and I'm more than willing to contribute and assist in any way I can whether it's lending a hand with your projects, sharing resources, or simply providing updates on my progress.

They were able to help me find some pretty good deals that have provided some great returns as the years have progressed.

Earlier at boot camp, they showed everyone some sort of the map that shows path of progression.

I know that there is a lawsuit in progress on this topic.
