Vito loaned that guy 20k and was willing to give 200k to tony that he was sitting on.

Why the hell did he have to do construction work in the new hampshire town?

He must have had money stashed away that he couldnt get at because he had to leave so quickly.

Also the construction in the town was his shot at trying a straight up life for abit. They had to show him failing to justify him coming back to New Jersey.
