That whole ordeal cost us what might have been at least "okay" credit.My brother just went through a divorce and he got left holding the bag on their mortgage.

You might offer:$3K down paid to seller at closing$450 paid to seller every month until the $97K balance is paid in full (in just over 20 years)If accepted, you've just bagged yourself $97K at ZERO (0!)

John I agree with everything you said but please don't let the cat out of the bag.

My theory is that your friends partner, who has a theoretical equity of about $75k, is hoping that you will carry the 50% bag for him for the "mere" sum of $68k, then you and your friend will have to squabble over the rest.

Just not worth the risk, Place the flyers on doors fences or even inside a bag with a rock. 

I had to undergo intestinal surgery and had a colostomy bag for two months, I was in and out of the hospital for two more surgeries over the next 4 months.

The potential to bag a deal is just to great to let my fear and anxiety get in the way.
