We have money to sit on this thing forever, but obviously that's not in the business plan.

Tenant occupied single family homes are also sitting longer than they usually would.

One the credit side of thing it’s pretty solid, I’m sitting above a 700.

One of the reasons that we choose to do real estate in our retirement accounts is because that is where 80%+ of each of our assets ALREADY were sitting, so we each did 'roll overs'.

They just sit on the asset.  

Not everyone is going to be sitting at home that exact moment and clicking on their phone to get food delivered.

So just sit and wait?

At this point, we are looking to remove the home from the two and a half lots it sits on and either lease the lots or sell them.

I don't close until the end of the month (or 3 weeks) and I have funds sitting in an account which are from a stock sale with significant capital gains.

Most contractors I know in this area are sitting on less than $10k in personal assets total (except their tools, haha), so the liklihood of them being able to actually pay instead of "going bankrupt" is questionable.So, from a few years down this road speaking back what I would encourage you to do is:  Figure out the process to "make it right" with the city, ask the contractor to pay for that (pay you back ideally, since they couldn't be trusted to do it right the first time), and then kick them to the curb.
