My personality type is non-confrontational and not one to throw people under the bus in front of their face.Now I decide my next step...I'm not the lawsuit type of guy, and at this point, would want nothing to do with this property under seller-financing terms (he would make my life miserable).Considering asking seller for consideration, or payment, of some sort to avoid going the legal route while also avoiding me dragging this out by clouding title, etc.Definitely not making any quick decisions.

The less we think about the effects of aberrant psychological neuroses in keeping us slaving at out miserable jobs for bosses who are just as or even more miserable than we are, the more likely we are to stay on the hamster wheel of debt, credit, and overspending, locked into our jobs with no exit in sight.
