Everyone needs to set boundaries and have some down time.

Consulting" was legal verbiage as we couldn't state a "deposit" for some reason.This was a while back when composed and for the purpose of investors having skin in the game before they get me burning rubber with pitching deals, answering questions, etc...Plus, if I don't like someone I don't have to sell and just refund the $5,000 "consulting" fee (Happens 9 times out of 10) 🤷‍♂️As you know, our operation is boutique as we prefer it that way and I "touch" all investors personallyAnd even prior to that step we have tweaked and tweaked our investor on-boarding process.How to pre-qualify leads via POF, auto-responders, VA's reaching out with email questionnaire's, FAQ's via our website and so forth.A rigorous process to ensure both the investor criteria and our model are clear for all...I mean it took years and years to develop, adapt, change, etc...But I guess that ain't clear enough either for some 🙈

The assets can be liquidated, and only tax consequence is the change in values from the date of death --- yeah, step in basis applies to a lot more than just real estate.Oh, and if the heir keep the real property, they are now most likely banking up more deferred tax liability (e.g. the depreciation), the exact characteristic you are trying to get away from via death.Please explain what am I missing (other than I am sure there is more to my argument)? 

You should also call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or contact them via their website.

@Tracey Marzich Can you please share his Ali contact via dm?

That's why so many REALTORS will share it via a DM instead of posting it publicly.

Not in an offer... just verbally/via email or something to keep him/her on the hook.
