I feel totally swindled. 

I have to disclose to everyone  I speak with that I'm a licensed broker and that I'm not using my expertise to swindle them.2.)

While I don't plan to swindle anybody, I also know that agents have a fiduciary responsibility, specifically when disclosing information.

I wanted advice on how to talk with investor/homeowner and how to make it seem like i'm not swindling them and actually am providing assistance.For example, i wrote an LOI on a home that is in dire need of rehab ARV is probably around 300k and i wrote 135k seller carry or 100k cash and she was hesitant.

I am glad these crooks got busted...this was not a simple ignorance of the law situation, this was a case of swindling people out of their money.

If you specify in your escrow instructions that the B->A funds not be released until the C->B funds are available, how can you get scammed or swindled?

I think this character has lied and swindled me.Sad part is that if I had just walked away, I would have only lost my deposit and the two weeks of rent until he sold the property.

I could see that we will probably need one to help us not get swindled by the listing agent/seller.I've been told to submit offers on a bunch of homes.

The biggest potential problem with an owner in assisted living is if you work out a good deal, either her or more likely her family, may eventually decide you took advantage of their poor, old mom and swindled her.

You would rather have your clients be pleased with you and use your name as a referral later than you swindle them out of a small sum of money.
