DO NOT EVER FOR A SECOND think it will be a clear cut case.

Professionals first off have references, they have strict safety standards, they do not cut corners or suggest that permits are not required.

With them doing repairs, they'll be cutting corners to get back as much of that money as possible.

I have the financing to buy my house back for 45K, Johnny thank you so much for your help""45K..... this house is worth 180K, I'll cut you a deal at 175K oh and your 6 month lease is not renewing....."

So you want a cut up front and every month after.  

Recently they cut some of the bases jobs and were every contimplating shutting the base down.

If a cash buyer came to me and was going to give me at least some of my return right away, rather having to wait for a retail buyer, it might be worth it to take a cut in profit!

If buyer decides to hold on property we would appraise the property and determine the current net profit and then they would cut me a check.

Cut your losses and move on.

I have as much to learn from them as they do from me, but unless they are willing to cut me in as an equity partner I need to be paid.
