Supposed Developer advertising for Partial Owner Financing in MA

[Ronald H.]

A supposed developer posted the Ad below. I answered him with interest, because I wanted to know more about this.

He answers me reply to him, and gives some basic info and a company name. Well like most normal folks, I look up his name and company to see if they are trustworthy. I could not find ANYthing so I asked him for more specifics.

He said he was going to meet, yet, I never heard from the BOOB again. He must have gotten touchy that I was looking him up, so he threw a potential opportunity away, because of his emotions. He never admitted or expressed anything. Just decided to pass on a potential lead. My loss or his?

Today, I have had another one blow me off. I am thinking of selling a property and I am getting these boobs calling me, claiming to be developers. Where did I advertise. Craigslist.

Found out that his LLC status was in jeopardy due to not renewing his license his in time. He told me that he was waiting on paperwork.

Further check did show quite a few transaction in Massachusetts.

Below is the Developer's Ad, that I answered

If someone is turned off because you are looking into them prior to investing your own money with them then I would say good reddens. If someone were to tell me they were looking into me I would say I understand and give them good references and/or ,y licensing info so that they can research me and feel comfortable prior to moving forward. I would keep moving on not look back honestly.
