I always write my own contract or make sure I can modify their existing contract to include things like: when the job should start, how long it will take, what penalty there is for the contract if they go past the deadline, what approvals need to happen if the job is going over budget, how much I need to put down to begin (i don't like doing more than 30%) and what the payment schedule is after that (some larger jobs will have milestones where another 30% is payed when completed), and what will be delivered to me before final payment (final approval, lien wavier etc..)

I’ve been going through recently filed Probates and matching them up with their properties.

You also see evidence in that everyone knew/knows it would be short/medium term by looking at the training of the baristas-turned-loan-originators that now dominate the call center places, in many cases they weren't even taught how to read a purchase contract (ask your Realtor, they can attest to this :), the idea (implicitly) being that this batch of new LOs is just going to be fired once rates go up, they're just being hired for refis, no reason to teach them how to read a purchase contract or that deadlines matter.

Different tax laws in Canada, only the amount depreciated is recaptured.I had a CPA file for me in 2019 when I had Canada and USA income but I wasn't a property owner in the USA until 2020.

My question is, if this borrower abandons the property and files bankruptcy, would I be responsible for the property taxes?
