My wife and I purchased a home to flip. The contract (no written agreements) had a budget of 70K for the remodel, nothing structural. New bathrooms, kitchen, flooring, windows, painting etc. House close tomorrow, even though it was to be a 60 day project took 10 months. The contractor now coming back saying his cost are 80k adn the is what was agreed, which it wasn't. He also is splitting the profits after costs of the property, carrying costs and the 70k is deducted the rest is split 50/50. Hope this give you some background. He now is threatening to file a lien (has a friend that is a lawyer), if the closing goes through tomorrow and no lien has been filed what will happen if it is filed a month from now? thanks,
