Its finally starting to pay off and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Investors purchased nearly everything on the market at rock bottom prices, and now they're finally moving up again.

We are finishing up a rehab project right now and the contractor that was doing the work was doing a horrible job, taking too long and causing a lot of issues, so I decided to fire him this past Friday and cut my losses.I haven't paid him his final draw yet and based on the quality of work (or lack there of) and he was already at his time deadline based on our contract and had at least a third of the scope of work still unfinished or needing redone because of how bad the finish work was.I tried to negotiate a final amount for us to agree upon to part ways and have the contractor sign the final lien waiver, but he is requesting more than what I think he deserves and he is threatening to file a mechanics lien against our property if I don't give him what he wants.Any thoughts or suggestions on what my rights are and how I should handle this???

My partner and I are in the final stages of establishing our company.

I'm finally trying my hand at blogging, and after creating my first entry, it appears all run together, with no breaks between paragraphs, etc.

I just completed a final "rough" draft of a business plan for 2014 in the Chicagoland market.

Unfortunately, i was breaking even on my payments and was not making a profit; only until this past May 2013 when the bank conducted their yearly reassessment, i finally started making a profit of $40.00/mo.

I'm stuck I would recommend running several scenarios, including selling now without doing any work, a couple various rehab scenarios (everything from a minor rehab to create a rental to a large rehab for resale), a demo-and-sell-the-lot scenario and finally a demo-and-build-a-new-house scenario.Once you have the scenarios mapped out and an estimated profit/loss on each, you can see if any of the avenues are profitable and how unprofitable the others are.
