@Bob Bowling  @Josh CaldwellThanks for your input I'm still new to real estate investing and I'd be lying if I claimed to understand 100% of what you and Josh are talking about. 

thank you all for the input.

By the time the funds were returned, I actually saved a bit of money as the USD had appreciated.But structuring a longer term deal (12-36mo+) with a larger sum of money is where I can't find away around it...short of using options to hedge currency risk or something much more involved/costly.Any input?

Thanks for the input!

I've never done either of these actions and have worked with great contractors in the past but this one to me is the definition of slimy contractor so I want to know what options I have to combat this.Appreciate any/all input

Majority of the 4000 is for painting, changing the floor so hopefully there is no structural damage.Thanks for the input!

Thx for your input.
