I Need Urgent Help...deal Going Bad

I'm having a problem with a partner in a rehab project. We are 2 months away from completing. However, we don't agree on a lot of things and he's very slow getting things done. He's offered to buy me out and I need help structuring the buyout.

Here's the background. My name is on the property. I put in about $17,000 in down payment and kitchen cabinets. I've also put in 90% of the time fixing it up for the past 5 months. He's put in about $10,000 so far and minimal time helping fix it up. Our split in the end looks like $28,000 per person.

He's a mortgage broker by trade. So he wants to give me $17,000 cash for my initial investment and then do a wrap around for my mortgage adding in some number that's fair for my time invested in fixing up the property.

With that said. Does anyone have a suggestion/pitfalls of doing a wrap or any other option? Also, should I just ask for the profit now and not add it to the wrap? And what do you think is a fair portion of the profit to ask for since we are almost done?

Thanks in advance. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

Regards.

    What was your agreement or arrangement orginally? 50/50 split of the profits? What are the projected profits? Give it to me now minus a small percentage (10-25%) for giving up the risk now in getting out early.
