As to date its $212k to build and I naturally give quiet a bit of wiggle room.

Curtis , that works sometimes but what I found is that human nature will prevail in the long run or when there is enough money on the table and without a legal obligation to pay you, eventually someone won't pay and when that happens you get a bad taste in your mouth that is hard to get rid of.

The questions I have would be of a private nature.

I learned to be even more skeptical than my natural sense, since it seems like almost nothing the broker or seller tells you is accurate or complete.

So naturally I ask him when he would start on the next building.

and the nature of your leverage; fixed 30 yr mtg?

Roses are a natural part of landscaping around here.

@Luis Silva Here's my two cents:1) Impossible to say anything about the lawsuits without knowing their nature.

The part about the contract is particularly relevant, in that a contract is really about solidifying what is acceptable to both parties; sure, most tend to favor one or the other, but the bottom line is that both must agree to it, or it is non-binding.One issue with our situation is that he did a lot of work; the problem is, he was set to do the more expensive work (hvac, some more electrical, appliances, etc) last, so the final draws were still rather high, but they had to be bulk draws because you can't parcel out portions of an hvac system or things of that nature.

It's good business to be a community player and to help out at times of natural disaster.
