Any turnkey company (or really any company) that tries to sell you on the idea that they're doing you a favor, losing money, by 'letting you' get such a great deal, is lying - that's a used car salesman tactic and huge red flag.

He certainly was not the first BP member to claim to be a licensee and that was an outright lie (think FRAUDS AND SCAMMERS). 

And if it comes to pass that a judge reviews this, what said judge will see is an allegation about someone doing something naughty on the phone versus documented proof that someone lied in writing before a notary public.

sold one lot, deeply deeply discounted, getting impatient"...Therein lies a problem!

@Andrew Magoun Something that I've had to get used to in this business is having people look me straight in the eye and lie to me. 

My real questions/concerns lie here....

That way the seller knows exactly what you’re doing and you’re not lying to them

@Roberto Gutierrez  yup half street improvements leading to nowhere .. been there hate that.Portland is in the 40 to 50k range and so are a few of the cities.. out lying cities can be as low as 15k.

I would advise lying about it because if you get caught, there can be serious consequences that will impact your ability to invest long term.

Numbers don't lie and it's a win-win.
