When I loan privately as a private lender, I have complete risk of my capital, I make all decisions and I suffer the consequences or rewards of my actions!  

There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

What are my courses of action here to get this deal to go through? 

It’s not just about sharing good news—it’s about being honest about the challenges too.

If she pursues legal action, I don’t mind going to small claims court.

I have a young daughter and a growing family and my priorities have shifted to the degree that I have motivation now to finally take some action.   

Thank you for that insight, if you where in my shoes, what course of action would you take and why?

Can we walk away or do they really have legal action that can be taken against us?

But, that should help keep you focused and not hold you back from taking action.
