Ready to call it quits. 

I wouldn’t call myself “wealthy” by comparison standards, but I’ve made a lot of progress on net worth over the last 5 years.

I ended up using a company called Atlas 1031.

It’s called TIME VALUE OF MONEY.  

I think our best client in the last 4 years we probably made them $750,000.Then I get the call from the one property owner trying to nickel and dime me that we will charge $190 for his townhome and he can get someone else to do it for $125.

Have you tried calling the local police department, or sheriff's department, or the Texas Rangers depending on where this theft took place.

Unfortunately, my experience has been problematic, to put it mildly:* Communication: There were significant communication issues, including difficulty scheduling calls, which is still an ongoing problem.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

It's the same idea.FYI I've seen subto contracts which provide for ~$50,000 in liquidated damages against a seller that reports the sale to the lender and that results in the loan being called.

However, I would call around to a few and they should give you a good idea.

The amount of equity I call pull is less than the cash I have but not significantly less.When doing this analysis it struck me that it may not be worth using a HELOC for the simple fact that the interest rate is ~9%* while the funds in my high yield account are only yielding ~5%*.
