(that's good)Now, in late December I sent them a letter telling them that I'd like for them to send the net 6 month check a little sooner than February 1 (ideally 2 weeks) because that's how long it took to clear my bank.I got no response from the letter.

If you do that and show the money, you'll find them more interested in you.Use a letter of intent on larger projects, that can give them more confidence as well.You can certainly find a decent GC that needs work and get someone to walk through and give a verbal, off the top of the head estimate.As for lenders, it depends again on the scope of work.

@Daniel Hornsby Orlando Centeno I have done Yellow letter mailing, squeeze pages, craigslist adds, cold calling, driving for dollars, and handing out biz cards.

Seek out a lawyer, or talk to the title company you closed with and have their lawyer render a letter of opinion.

I am an attorney, and what the tenant signed is what the court will look at if you were to have to go to court over this.I would send tenant #1 a letter stating that under the contract they signed they must give you ____ days notice and as they failed to do so you have the option to keep their security deposit but as a courtesy you will re-advertise the premises and give them back their mitigated portion of the security deposit minus advertising costs and any travel cost to you if you find tenant #2.

Then, after all inspections are passed, close it back up and finish it off.Also, you might ask the building official if you can submit a professional engineer's letter that says he saw the construction, and that it was all done according to the applicable codes. 

After they notify me they get letter referring                                    them to signed move-in condition list Forwarding Address form (For getting their deposit back) -                                                     In my acceptance  letter of their move-out notification.

Hey Jon, my first yellow letter mailer actually hit last week.

Send a letter stating that the dog noise is a violation of the lease and something needs to be done to stop it.

The document that was signed regarding the occupancy for a year said that the lender could give a written letter of approval to get around it and that's all we asked for.
