Can you do a turnover (repaint interior and deep clean) for $1000. 

Deep breath and a sigh.

(we never talked about this house needing a city permit before).I am currently paralyzed by what happened as it is my first rodeo in this deep hole and stuck - Now, It is a dead-end with this guy as he is really a scam artist who intentionally steal money. but what is the best next step that i could do - file a lawsuit and go to the legal system, or just focus on closing the rehab with another person .... and if I would sue the person would I actually get anything out of it or my time would be a waist....sorry if i sound like rumbling - but any advice would be appreciated.Sincerely AA

I think it depends how deep you analyzed the upsizing to a bigger home in the same general area.

@Lucas BernardYou might want to follow the "Deep Dive" series we're doing on our BiggerPockets blog about Metro Detroit cities, City of Detroit Neighborhoods and comparing Metro Detroit to other hotspots investors usually consider.

Slowing the market down a little gives us all a little breathing room.

This podcasts gets deep into syndicating strategies.

. - (Didn't do a huge deep dive to compare interior qualities)Regarding the home specifically.

Another option is to get a partner with deep pockets. 

I recommend catering to sophisticated investors who will be there during all market conditions (and will still have deep pockets when there is blood in the streets).
