The supposed deals that I had worked on for him "fell apart" because of some lame excuse (such as "oh the numbers/comps weren't right").

The number fell in line with the high comps for the area.

The market in some parts of Charlotte has dropped so bad, its tough to sell at what you owe on something and rents have decreased.In 2005 - 2006 Charlotte was a good solid hot investment area, but like a lot of hot area fell down far.

I initially approached my lender expecting a non-owner occupied SFH that fell through.

Solution: We move to Fells Point in Baltimore when our lease was up at the apartment we were living in. 

The previous 2 fell out because they decided the drive was too much.....it is quite a drive so I knew it would take the right person. 

Yes there is crime in the area yes there is drugs and yes there is prostitution but those exist in other areas. 

I have been trying to decide between a single-family home that I could house-hack or a multi-family property and today, an ad for an off-market 4-plex that is in my area fell into my lap. 

I was offered a contract for $379K under the condition all owners signed their contract. 4 owners would not sign so the deal fell through.

This is amongst many other issues this man has created and he has attempted to set me up to make illegal landlord proclamations, which I have not really fell for- I got educated real fast.
