Custom build customer insist on personal friend designer
I met with the project manager, homeowner, and my broker today. The homeowner was sold on the $3,000 solution our project manager came up with. It's actually $2100 but there will be an additional charge for the engineer to return to re-inspect. Thanks everyone- smutlydog

Custom build customer insist on personal friend designer
Texas So the framing is complete on a custom build home. This is after the engineering firm approved the design. The designer is a personal friend of the customer. It turns out the designer was off on important measurements. My project manager found an easy fix for the problem but the customer...- smutlydog

A contractor wants me to help him save money on child support
Texas A contractor wants me to help him save money on child support. He is finalizing a divorce and suggested that I underpay him on paper to help save money on child support. I have no intention of doing this because I will go ahead and assume it's against the law. As the saying goes if...- smutlydog

Signed but backed out with no consideration
I look at the square footage and cost of previous projects and compare that to this project. Today the electricity bids and central air bids came in those are as predicted. My stepson handled the initial meeting with the buyer. I signed though so it's my responsibility. Next time I want to do a...- smutlydog

Signed but backed out with no consideration
He didn't mean technically fine. My broker knows the sellers broker, and he said this is almost a normal part of doing business. No one gets too exited until monies are transferred, but I now get it. It doesn't reflect well on me. So I assume all I have to do is agree to build if I am threatened...- smutlydog

Signed but backed out with no consideration
So the promise is consideration? The broker said we are fine but if not I will just buy the lot and build the house for the $20,000 or possibly a little less profit. In the future I will not get involved in a project like this. It has to be either entirely my project or entirely someone else's...- smutlydog

Texas I am a new home builder with 3 houses completed so far. For the first time I was going to custom build a house for someone. The buyer told us he was approved for x amount dollars.

Inheriting a shared interest in Texas
Yes my mother is currently married to my father. He is 89 and is competent but not as sharp he was just 2 years ago. He asked that I go with him to see an attorney, but I am probably going to say as little as possible. The one thing I will say to the attorney. "Count on their being disagreements...- smutlydog

Inheriting a shared interest in Texas
This property has been in my family since the 1880s so everyone in the family and extended family anticipates owning ranch land. It makes more sense to discuss it. A 3-year trust sounds like a good idea and will head any disputes.- smutlydog

Inheriting a shared interest in Texas
Thanks for advice. We will see what the attorney tells us. I think in the end a land partition might be my only recourse so that the land can be sold at fair market value. I will wait until the value goes back up but beyond that I don't want any business relationship with my brother or sister.- smutlydog
