Out of State Rehab: Contractor Ghosted Me
Hello Everyone,
This has been a great resource for me as an amateur real estate investor. I'll jump right into my dilemma. I purchased a fixer upper in Dayton, OH (4bd 2ba) in April of 2017. I chose the same contractor that successfully finished a smaller rehab for me. Long story short he has been promising me for months that it'll be ready next week. I finally got a third party contractor to inspect the property and about 30% of the work has been done. So in summary within 11 months only 30% of the work has been done. I already informed him to issue me a refund of the money not spent. I have not heard from him since (about 4 days).
What is my course of action? I am in CA and the property is in OH.
Any info would be appreciated.
