@Jenny Cunningham Me too. I'm game. Great idea.

Thank you everyone for your input. I will be consulting an attorney this week and making a decision. @Al Wilson@Wayne Brooks@Dave Bingham

@Douglas Snook Thank you. I appreciate your input.

@Chris SeveneyThank you. I appreciate your input.

@Manolo D.I started with the maximum which is $5K for small claims court as I didn't want to incur the attorney expenditure. However, I have incurred $15K+ and may be better off outside of small claims court. At this juncture, I really I'm trying to figure out the best way forward...and yes, thanks for the reminder. Emotions are in check:)

I borrowed a contract from another investor and it does say JAMS. I think he talked to an attorney and came with a written email which he read word for word with the aim of getting the case dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Judge didn't buy it so she stayed the case until she hears back. So I still have a shot. 

Has anyone had experience with the JAMS mediation and arbitration process? Unfortunately, I hired a shady contractor who decided to sabotage my duplex and maliciously cut electrical wiring, AC, ruined plumbing and walked off the job  after a disagreement. Needless to say, I had paid him 83% of the job. I know it's not a new story but this is someone I personally knew and had worked on a project in my home. Turns out his license expired and it wasn't even a GC license as he had indicated. Long story short, I have finally got everything taken care of and rented the place and decided to take him to small claims court to see if I could recoup some losses. Guy shows up in court and tells the judge that he doesn't want to do mediation provided by the court and wants to go to arbitration with JAMS per the contract. Obviously he's trying to ensure that I incur more costs or to frustrate me to abandon the lawsuit. Thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a GC in Tampa, Florida. Anyone have one who has experience working with investors?

Thanks in advance

@Dmitriy Fomichenko Thanks for the heads up. @TJ Ferrante I'm thinking of going the Solo 401K route and thanks for the reference. I'll reach out to your colleague if things change.

I am looking for an Attorney to review an Operating statement for my Self directed IRA in the Tampa, FL area. Does anyone have recommendations on one who will turn things around fast? I already have the document in place. I plan on using IRA services Trust Company to set up the Self directed IRA.
