Just to give you an update.

This week, a judgment was issued against Blacktp Construction Group in Lee County, Florida, for over $33k payable to a local stucco company.  In Lee County Florida alone, they now have 26 lawsuits filed.

Also, in Harris County, Texas, a garnishment order was issued against Blacktip and various other parties for their Bank of Ozarks bank accounts. So this would explain why new payment requests are on a Chase Bank account.

Remember to get releases of liens from all vendors and subcontractors before making payments. Liens are being filed regularly against Blacktip-involved properties. Also, now that garnishments are being filed, any money Blacktip receives could end up going to somebody unrelated to your project, resulting in more liens for you.

Protect yourself.

    ask them for recent permit pulls in the county and go look them up to verify activity. you can also call the local building department to verify their license and recent activity. if you don't see any run for the hills.

    If it helps, I've inserted a link to Cape Coral's permitting site below where you can check the status of work progress and inspections.

    Hi everyone, I made a post in another thread. If anyone has problems with Jeffery Beach at Blacktip Construction, please reach out. He's a terrible person. I've been strung along by them for over a year. We gave him 56k in deposits and he will not even pick up his phone or engage in a conversation. We have not been able to secure financing and had conversations about it. He is not trustworthy and i would stay far away from that company.

    Hi all, I paid Blacktip a 10k deposit more than a year ago now.  Similar story - I'm basically writing off the 10k at this point.  Has anyone had any success?

    FYI, Blacktip Construction Group may be in big financial difficulty. They have multiple pending legal issues totaling over $1.5 million. These relate to unpaid sub-contractors, loan defaults, and mortgage defaults. Over the last 12 months, 70% of their job sites have seen liens filed. Many of their sites have materials missing or have unfinished work with materials being exposed to weather past acceptable time spans. This results in additional expenses being incurred by the owners. Even worse, some job sites have potential mold growth internally.

    I have discovered that most of their current job sites appear to have been abandoned or close to being abandoned. Various sites have been red-tagged due to code compliance violations, including permits not being issued before the commencement of work, construction debris and trash lying around the worksite, plus other reasons.

    Below is a link to my Microsoft One drive, where I have made available PDF copies of publicly available information regarding their financial position. https://1drv.ms/f/s!AqyCYIHLUkl8i-EuZlpPUgC6eBljgg?e=pnKjwj<... have started writing letters to parcel owners to make them aware of the issues generally and a QR code for photos of their specific projects. Anybody wishing to know more or have questions, please message me for my contact number.

    My original post was for removed by an administrator as they classed it as a promotion of business.

    Good morning. 

    I have a new build with Blacktip. It is 58% complete and just passed the end of the build contract last week (24 months). 

    For over the past month I have not been able to get ahold of Jeff Beach, he will not reply to email, text or phonecalls. 

    I also received a letter from the county saying that my property is in violation of several health and safety codes. 

    I have around $130k in this project so far and am worried that I am going to have to take a huge loss on this project. 

    Any advice welcome.

    File a criminal complaint and send it to the DOJ. Jeff Beach seems to have a lot of money from clients.

    Talk to a Florida construction attorney ASAP.  Blaxktip is in serious trouble with a warrant just about to be issued for contempt of court.

    A garnishment of his bank account happened the other day wiping out his Chase bank account balance.  This is the second time this has happened as the same happened to his bank of ozarks bank account.  The worst thing here is people who he recently took money from - yes some people are still being conned out of their money - lost it all to the court.

    I can see him working on 4 houses at the moment, and each ia having work performed out of sequence with 3 of the 4 still having no front entrance door installed, but they have still finished the internal walls and laid the flooring.  Crazy !

    Protect yourself and speak to an attorney.  He is still not paying vendors and subs.  Yesterday I was talking to and architect and engineer who is owed money.  The list gets longer and longer.

    My attorney said hes gotten over 30+ litigations against him, and he has conned so many people out of money its best everyone to start filing criminal complaints against him to hold him accountable. There have been other Florida builders who have pulled off the same as Jeff Beach and are facing criminal charges. There has been dozens from the BP community alone.

    Hi Kyle, is your problem with Blacktip or a specific “development firm” that’s helping you with your build/investment?

     Jeff,

    Who are you referring to as the development group? SWFPL? 

    There are many of us that I hate to say, are victims of this Cape Coral bilking.

    The question is, is there anything to be gained by adding to what appear to be dozens of lawsuits and complaints? Many of us are out in the neighborhood of $130K.

    I've received about 2 dozen messages in my BP inbox about it. I could barely answer all the messages. I hired an attorney and she recommended at this point with all the problems Blacktip Construction and Jeff Beach are having to file a criminal case against him and registering it with the DOJ. There have been other builders who have had to face criminal charges for doing what Jeff Beach has done to everyone. By all the phone calls they have been receiving in regards to blacktip she thinks the amount of money Jeff has taken is one that could exceed any previous cases that have been brought up criminally in Lee County.

    I've spoken to countless investors facing this same problem and I can feel the sense of frustration and helplessness, especially when your builder goes dark. This problem has been building for a while now and appears to be coming to a head, not just with Blacktip, but with other Cape Coral area builders as well. They took on more projects than they can handle just as a number of market variables turned against them: materials costs and availability and staffing, both back office and subs, just to name a couple. They're pressuring their investor-clients to pay for their sins with change orders and/or escalations, or escalations disguised as change orders. Re-read your contracts, document your correspondence (and attempts) with your builder and demand documentation to match up any payments/draws with what's actually been competed on your build. PM me if you need progress photos, and hang in there.

    FYI, 

    13 motions for default have just been filed by two previous customers of BTC, totaling around $ 420k.  In addition, a motion for default was filed against an outstanding mortgage for another $ 367k which was personally guaranteed as well.

    Keep watching the Kiyo v BTC and Dream CQ Holdings V BTC cases as both of these have a potential basis for piercing the corporate veil.  Also, May Holiday V BTC has a claimed fact "In January 2024, Blacktip’s president, Jeffrey S. Beach informed May Holiday that there are no funds to start the construction let alone finish construction on the Property."

    Things are starting to get really tight for them now, and starting to come to a head.
