Between the contractor that scammed me and the break in, this project has gone on for about five months longer than it should, and I have depleted my savings making the interest payments all the way up until I have zero money. 

I frequent the MKE events.Leverage Your Skills: Highlight your project management expertise and strong contractor relationships when negotiating deals.

You'd probably need to talk to a contractor and the City. 

However, what I would suggest based on your expertise as a contractor is going into a semi-fixer upper and make minor repairs to boost equity as well as savings. 

If they aren't taller than two floors, you might not be able to go up.I thought about that and mentioned it to the Contractor.

Start small with a multifamily property in areas showing job growth, population increases, or redevelopment potential.

If you are out of state, who connected you to the contractor and what references did they have?

Do you have 2-4 contractors that you've built relationships with who build similar homes to what you're looking to do?

I'm also open to flipping once I have some more funds on hand as I have some friends here I know that could help me with the right contractors to work with and start to make some money that way to get more properties.

We have good managers, good contractors, good attorneys, and (if I do say do myself) some good agents.So... that's the good.The bad?
