Just know that we had to take money back from the contractor as he violated terms of the contract.

It is a 4-unit building and I was planning to live in one of those units (per the mortgage contract, I need to move in within 60 days and live there for 1 year). 

It took us SIX MONTHS to finally lock down our first house, we made at least 10 offers and we were under contract 3 times before we finally closed.

I've seen a contractor show up 1wk late for a contract that only had a 3 wk performance period.

If there are no comps I would predict an appraisal problem which will lilely lead to a forced price reduction when it is under contract.

The Columbus market has been kickin' butt this year, but am I noticing a slow down for winter/holidays? 

I should add that I am in California, but if you follow the rules and read the contracts (and have an assist from a legal team), its not that bad.

They were a bit surprised when I told them I would NOT provide payoff and that the contract was invalid.

Or should my tenants make all payments and contract with the LLC A that holds the property and then I subsequently make draws out of there.  2-If i were to raise money under the traditional GP/LP and the GP would be a newly created LLC that I wholly own and I also wanted an equity interest using one of the LPs, should the LP interest be owned by a parent company (Parent Entity LLC) or is it individually myself? 

They seem like good tenants so I’d like to avoid them moving out especially with the slower winter months coming.
