Now, even if they did sign it, they may still try to get it back and unless this is common for your area- some judge might give it back to them because it is "excessive". 

Here in FL at least, if the GC has insurance and his sub doesn’t, the GC’s insurance covers it, since in these situations the liability shi$ rolls uphill.But to be clear, none of their insurance covers a “botched job” or bad workmanship or disappearing or screwing you.

This is an expensive area right next to manhattan, so I dont want him to just make excessive charges for things that I can dispute. 

My vote is for a flat rate income tax (Total Annual Federal Expenses)/(Total Personal and Corporate Income) = Tax Rate.Everyone pays that percent of income as tax, and your return is five lines.

They would be able to earn from personally extending the trust and work in the situation- Sell the property, pay down the debts and holding the excess cash in reserve to launch your investing career from strength.Good luck on your journey, Shontae!

I guess you can offer the private money lenders a choice of either a flat rate percentage of return on their investment, OR a percentage of the profits-- that way, you avoid the criticism.

My business operates in San Francisco, and office rents are far in excess of what we can afford.We recently stumbled upon Workshop Cafe (https://www.workshopcafe.com/) where my team and I currently work.The business functions as co-working office space and coffee shop, allowing customers like my business to rent seats at $3 per hour.This is awesome for the following reasons:I can take calls without worrying about loud people or coffee shop music (a common Starbucks problem in SF).We only pay for the space when we use it.Workshop cafe has two locations and has proven they can be profitable with little scale (unlike larger competitors like WeWork).BP Community1) Have you seen any other innovate co-working business models?
