My questions come from the situation that arose as we approached title and escrow to open an account for this agreement.

Starting with a cash purchase, renovate and refinance to potentially recover invested capital (as much as possible).I'm optimistic about this approach and eager to see how it unfolds!"

Maybe there's a victims group that can approach a US attorneys office or the FBI?

This question is best answered with a financial approach and hopefully will be super simple. 

We were approached with a creative financing offer and it sounds really shady.

Any advice on how to approach this?

Hello, everyoneIt's been tough to find a GC for our project: we found 8 teams/companies, and only 5 were GCs, we had 5 bids, we liked the systematic approach of only 3 of them, and none of them still have any time to start the project.

That metric is important in commercial properties because they use the income approach to determine value.

(Similar to a deal I wrote about here).c) Most common approach is to sublet the property as a lease option to a tenant/buyer with fatter terms on the other side.

This contractor had a professional approach, was licensed, bonded and insured, everything checked out just like he checked out as soon as he got the money.
