A properly structured contract would allow you to take over conttrol of the project without foreclosure by shifting the beneficial interest from the investor to you as project milestones are missed.I realize this suggestion comes a little late in the game for your current situation, so give CRR a call, but before the next time look into using a land contract.

Strong bowtie game.....Welcome! 

Being I have been in the game for sixteen (16) years I understand it a bit better than most.

My lease allows me to charge them for it, but man, I guess people who have no skin in the game are just careless.

Its all on what you want, but there are classes out there if you are tired of the guessing game.
