Good advice Wayne Woodson, Thanks!
Just a little update... since this happened, I have moved on. It's been almost 3 weeks since I've heard from that other investor until yesterday when I received TWO emails. In my opinion, the first one was meant to pacify me and butter me up as it was an email that he sent to his title company and copied me on, asking them to set me up with an account so I can get property information. Sweet! I'll take it... it's the least I deserve after what he's done to me. Get ready for email #2!
Email #2 had the usual blah blah courtesy speak and then the poor me part of it... "tried to contact owner, can't reach him, has a voicemail & I left message, kept calling but no reply. Owner lives with mother, here's her name & phone number. Perhaps you can try & have better luck, let me know". (I can just imagine mommy rolling her eyes every time she sees his phone number come across her caller ID and yet another voicemail from him -remember, the owner lives with his mother now that his house is inhabitable).
Are you kidding me??!! Just how stupid does this guy really think I am? (Ok, that was a rhetorical question, LOL).
On the plus side... As I left for work the other day, I saw the owner's contractor standing out in front of the house and a big ol' dumpster.... getting ready to haul off some debris as requested by the city I imagine. It was gone by the time I got home and so was some of the debris. So sad that this house is not salvagable. It has a lot of history, built in the 20s. I just hope that the new house built will have some of the old town charm to match the rest of the neighborhood.
