So the disconnect is deep and wide. 

I won't get too deep in the details but I had an appraisal done on the land with a proposed house on it and it came back pretty good.

I knew, deep down, that we were being screwed.

You probably need to slow down and breathe for a minute contrary to what most others on the site might tell you. 

Sorry, I kind of went into it a little deep but understand that it's simply passion to become financially free and enjoy the time i have left on this planet.

To make a long story short; I bought a house and rented it out to my family but at a deep discount which means I have negative cash flow from it. 

After Irelands terrible recession we decided our best option was to save for a mortgage abroad, as we have friends and family that are in a deep struggle to get out of the rental market and into the house owners.I long story short, after initial problems with finding ideal work we are now up and running and saving more than we could have ever dreamed.

This requires a deep knowledge of execution, but is very rewarding and exciting.

That might be on the property management company that he was using but it appears that he has had knowledge of it for some time and continued to promote selling more properties to be managed by the same property management company.at this point I believe with all the buy backs and pending litigation he is trying to sell his way out of a deep dark hole.. it will take government intervention to shut that operation down. 

You don't lose any money by doing that, of course, but you don't make any either.I know the reluctance to condos runs deep, I bet well more than 80% of real estate investors share that reaction, but I wonder if it's from their experience or if it's just that they are repeating the same thing they hear from others.
