I began my career as a Public Defender in Monroe County, NY.

My company bought a property from one of the defendants in this NC case, but our transaction was not a party to actions/sanctions related to the bid rigging.

Even though the mandate on Ability to Repay doesn't go into effect until January, it may be much harder to defend a new loan in court than it would be an older one if the husband stops performing because he is spending your money drinking and/or chasing women.

I would give the agent a chance to defend themselves, but move on quickly without a really good explanation.

It was too late to change the lease, but the attorney gave me a copy of the lease they use, and defend, in court.

Based on thousands of actual court cases, the lender loses any monies paid toward the home to the buyer and the home to the buyer, not to mention sanctions, penalties, and fines.It is all well and good to believe the risk is worth the return, but actual regulatory actions and court cases prove the smaller operations get run over for a lack of money to defend themselves.

Your true intent is something only you will know.You are certainly entitled to be compensated for your labors, what you labor at and the reason why you do it may not be about money being the primary goal.Is serving in the military just about the money, does a minister run his church because it's just about the money, does a firefighter answer a call just for the money, or does a cop find a lost child because of money????

I know some guys who can't defend themselves against a fly and know some women in our martial arts classes that hit harder than some men.

Unless an answer is filed a certain way you (the plaintiff) don't have to be there if you have an attorney and even then you can ask your attorney to contact you if the tenant/defendant actually appears in those instances.

Exempted originators or sellers should still follow the intent of the Act as closely as possible simply to defend claims of predatory dealing in RE. :)
