This was it.Step 4: Once the HELOC closed I had 50k burning a hole in my metaphorical-pocket.

@Chris GeerWe always list it 30 days out if it’s a turn and burn.

It was a burned out house.

If you use an enclosure, be sure to have a clause in your rental agreement about not burning candles near it.

Between the 3rd and the 18th, when paychecks come in, and the 1st of the following month, the rent money can burn a lot of holes in pockets and then it becomes my problem.

Addressing the problems is like trying to put out small individual fires in a forest that is burning.

You can't tell it, but I used chemicals last year and burned all of the growth down.

Keep your workers.Your cost in utilities is great too, I noticed I burned a several hundred dollars  in electricity and heating in Chicago, power tools use a lot of juice. 

We have investors here that buy burn jobs.

All of your questions are why cash for keys is ridiculous and lazy, rewarding illegal behavior and sends the wrong message and creates more of the same type of problems for everyone else,  quite frankly those that get burned doing it, more power to those savvy enough to do it to them.Use the proper legal means, do it right and all of these issues aren't issues.
