Wait a second! Who do you think was doing something very nice to who?
I would expect experienced investors been able to read between the lines, but I was wrong again.
The fact that I was renting below market value does not mean that I was renting below the "rentable" value of the place, and the fact that I was rehabbing it myself should have been a clear indication of that. He would have never been able to rent that place, and it would have kept not being able to pay the HOA (and subsequently risking to lose the place) and get in more trouble. Since it was obviously conveniente more me also to move there, and not only financially but for family reasons, I said ok, let's help each other out (I am very humble and frugal and don't need to live in mansion) and at the end it turned out that I was helping him more that the other way around and keep in mind this is only a part of the whole story. I have also paid rent much earlier when he need it.
I would expect seasoned investors and mature folks not to just read a couple of line, get emotional like teens and spew opinions or insult some one they don't even know, but on the other hand I admit I completely failed in telling the story, conveying a message, and asking the right questions so I apologize again and I thank every one for his time and critics, and I also apologize for pissing people off.
I should probably take more time think thoroughly before posting, but circumstances don't always help.
