My question involves real estate located in the State of: North CarolinaP - PlaintiffD- DeceasedDF- DefendantHello everyone, here are the facts:- DF and D were in a romantic relationship.

No, we are not in a romantic relationship.

I’m a romantic and hate to see marriages and relationships fail.  

Its a romantic idea of owning a peice of property that generates income.

They are nice romantic stories and certainly produce quality returns.  

Failing roofs and hanging gutters.Some houses have romantic names like "Whispering Pines" or "Cedar Ridge".

that would be a very romantic thing to ask your partner: "sweetie, lets have a baby...we need more dependents"

There is a long story leading to why that was my first book instead of my typical romantic novel, but in short, my mother decided to transfer her current home/commercial rental property over to me earlier that day, and just sort of told me casually over an after-lunch phone call -hence I panicked and went looking for books to read.  

When in fact there is more people that think they want or need to do this than there are deals in most markets.. and that's buy a long shot.... there are only so many FSBO's out there the rest of real estate is transacted in the RE INDUSTRY by licensed individuals who do this for a living and a career.So if people want in the industry get in the industry.... if you want to buy and sell real estate then get your money together and go forth and do that.. but to do it with no money no credit and just trying to sucker people into crappy deals I see NO honor in that.. and I see it as a huge time suck and failure for the vast majority of people who are influenced by this romantic notion that this is the way to make big money.Sure some do it NO doubt.. but then again some become sports stars and some make it big in what ever business they choose.. the cream rises to the top.. but I submit the successful wholesaler who actually makes big money is far and few between and would succeed at almost any business the tried..

That romantic gesture has kept us working together for a long time now, both in the AF and out.
