You will have it back in full IF you negotiated the deal right.

So I borrowed from my HELOC above^; and 17k from a short-term line I have at 3.99% thats due to expire next year (this I plan on paying in full before then)I'm looking at my HELOC 36k @ 5%.. 

In addition, if you have a "smoking deposit" and there is damage not caused by smoking, they may try to fight it since they "swear they didn't smoke inside."

The project is supposed to take between 18 and 24 months for the full turnaround.

@Omar Khan and @John Casmon why would a partnership with limited partners not require the full syndicate work-up?

Here are the questions I have on layout:1)  I can go two stories tall with a full basement - or - three stories on a slab - or - 2 stories on slab2)  What is ideal mix? 

I believer Cherry Hill did a full reassessment mandated by the county in 2012 or 2013 so they'll probably ignore it now for years unless there's an appeal filed.

I wanted to do it myself and ensure it wasn't a full finish to avoid paying property taxes on additional livable square footage.

The meetings are a little challenging for me to get to due my full time business hours and the distance to drive to one.

And it never hurts when you say see ya to add that you were letting go of the additional costs of damage over the deposit, but since you are going to court, you expect to counter sue for your full damages.
