At the end of the day, she got a fat return and fat problems with the housing authority for not reporting income changes.

The quick answer is this would have been a good short sale candidate, because there was a huge second at risk of being wiped out in the foreclosure auction.Now, the game isn't over yet - the "fat lady" hasn't yet sung!

None of them will lose their jobs, in fact they're all getting fat raises.

It happens to be that the edition Gene purchased was written against a version several years ago but we happily gave him a refund.

Your syndication attorney will never go put his boots on the ground ;-)I have used Gene Trowbridge for many syndications across the country and have always been happy with him:https://www.crowdfundinglawyers.net/gene-trowbridg...Kim Taylor, who Jeff mentioned, actually used to work with Gene before she moved to Florida. 

I don't like to chew on the fat or beat around the bush, so ...Do you think it is wrong when; There is a house for sale listed with a agent/(broker etc..) and you go up knock on that individuals' door, and one way or another tell them ( and this can be in any number of ways, such as - Dont bother listing it with them/ Take it off the listing/ Save your 3-6% with me etc) and pretty much under cut the agent/broker and deal directly with the owner?

All the furniture items can be shipped to the property and you may need to hire friends or college kids to assemble furniture or meet the delivery people (that takes the most time) If you took some time and got the major pieces in place, a friend with the "decorating gene" could fill in with reasonably priced decor from my favorite stores TJ  Maxx or Homegoods with a modest budget.
