This is a really hard mental challenge to overcome because you don’t know what you don’t know about other investments.

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.  

Clarity shows commitment and improves your chances of obtaining funding, whichever property you choose.

Call a meeting, bring clarity, and press them on the terms you both agreed to.

I agree with @Jake Andronico get clarity on what your end goal is.

The “I helped the seller by a sub to purchase” and the “you screwed the seller by a sub to purchase” are both correct AND incorrect.Because it depends on whether the seller was provided with a full disclosure of the ramifications and possible consequences of entering into a sub to transaction; whether the seller is mentally competent to understand the ramifications and consequences, and whether the transaction is accomplished without lying to the lender.

Agreed mate,I'm all about taking personal responsibility and I have been swindled many times in a similar fashion like many feel on this thread.It seems like these investors including myself in other instances get negligent and don't read between the lines.Especially after trust and a relationship have been established, we become gullible and don't second guess or question.Maybe it's greed for some but in my instance it wasn't.Just innocent and trusting stupidity (No, I'm never a victim as that is ******** mentality in my book).I had some spare $$$ and wanted to diversify in other assets through folks I considered friends and trustworthy business partners.Didn't even think twice to look things over.Looking back, it all makes sense now but it's easy being a general after the battle heheI only blame myself here...I mentioned in the thread further above that I lost to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Again, it is what it is and it's a lesson.Only myself to blame and have always taken the high road in such instances.As much as I'd like to fight for justice and go down the legal path, it just isn't worth the time and emotion.Upwards and onwards.Become better and make more than you have lost.Each to their own and that's just my personal "modus operandi"

You have the usual causes like drugs/alcohol problems, mental illness and then you have the working poor who remain homeless.

For clarity, the offer is for a lump sum payment of tens of thousands of dollars for a perpetual easement.

It is a simple rule of thumb to help you mentally filter through deals.
