As New Home Sales (preconstruction) grind to a halt and new projects are being shelved indefinitely…..people are questioning if they will ever come back. The answer is yes but the better question is whenLen Finegold, Senior Council for Cambridge LLP’s Construction Law Group joins me again to talk all things PreconstructionI have to admit something. I have never been a fan of preconstruction sales for my clients. I know tons of agents and investors who did very well in this space many years ago. I never liked it. Too many risks. Too much can go wrongAs affordability continues to be a challenge for many, I am starting to warm up to it as a way for some to enter the market.Join me as we hear from one of the top leading experts on how to protect yourself when buying a home or condo in preconstructionFollow me on Socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rachellevyhomes/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@rachellevyhomesCheck out my website - https://www.rachellevyhomes.comProduced by Max Silverberg

It is with great honour that I had the opportunity to interview Leonard Finegold on this week’s episode of LEVerage.
Leonard Finegold leads Cambridge LLP’s Construction Law Group and brings more than 35 years of focused experience in construction law. His resume reads like a book I hope he writes one day as his experience is vast across all aspects of building from residential to large developments.
This episode was in the making for over 6 months but it was so worth the wait.
We discuss all things construction/renovations; how to pick a contractor; when you know you have to litigate and everything in between.
