What is the name of your state? NC
My husband and I hired a contractor to build a secondary home. It's ~95% complete, but the contractor has informed us that he has run out of money and doesn't know if he can finish the house. He also informed us that he understands there's 5% left in the construction loan, but states there is several times that worth of work to complete. We're willing to pay out of pocket for the 5% b/c we'll get that back from the bank upon receipt of the CO. We've paid for all change items, so not sure where the additional $$ is coming from. He's also told us that he hopes to win at least 2-3 bids he has out, so he'll have money to finish the work. What happens if he doesn't?? What legal recourse do we have?
Thanks
