From my experience in California, when you see remodel jobs covered in plastic sheeting for months, you would be amazed how often the actual problem is a home owner who has run out of money. In other words they were acting as their own general contractor and didn't estimate job costs correctly.

I know one person who purchased a home four years ago and still has not moved in. For what he has done so far, in hindsight he would have been better off, by a factor of three, tearing down the existing home and building a new home. Currently in Los Angeles, the value of the house is a very small portion of the purchase price.
