Does he also have a loan with you or another bank or is he paying strictly cash for the house. I might be looking hard at the source of cash, then make a call whether or not you feel he is structuring cash payments. If he does have a loan, then why would a lender allow that and not control all payments to the contractor, as to ensure that no mechanic's liens are filed?
