Unfortunately, you did not have the tenant sign a "deposit to hold" contract or a full rental contract which would have written terms of how the deposit would be handled such as citing that it would be forfeited if move-in or lease signing did not occur before X date.

Both have an area meetings where you go to an ongoing rehab, you get to speak with the investor, his/her contractor, probably a finance guy there and obviously, the other investors that are there.

I have a decent situation going right now and would love some advice.I have been a contractor for many years now and recently reconnected with an old high school friend of mine who is doing very well and by chance helped him out a ton on some work at his house and saved him thousands of dollars.

Any recommendations for a reliable contractor in Union County?

The neighbor designated the engineer and my contractor paid the fee.

My advice is to not try to cut corners with the restoration contractor.

I got a contractor bid and they said I should redo the entire wall/house, but I think it may be too much work and not needed.Do you think I'd be ok to just repaint the house, or should I consider redoing the entire house with stucco?

I like the concept of mixed use especially in redevelopment of inner city areas.

I buy additional units only within that radius, and I don't buy properties that are going to require intensive management by their nature, such as rooming houses.I have a maintenance man and a good contractor, and a network of tradespeople for other issues.

This thread is older and I think my thrust in getting involved with these housing entities was as a Director or contractor perfoming services in serving the mission.
