Enforcement of equity skimming, mortgage fraud, wire fraud etc could change on a stroke of a pen.  

The truth is, they will keep playing games and milk you for every penny they can, then they will leave the house a mess and cost more with cleaning, repairs, and vacancy.

But yeah, loud n proud about "milking his milkers", getting $ on demand.

They simply skip over/ignore concepts like vulnerable persons, equity skimming, equity stripping, bank fraud, wire fraud, mortgage fraud, escrow and closing, etc  It's now the "thing" to do.What could go wrong?

If you buy it too low, in some jurisdictions they will call it "equity skimming" which is illegal.It can be very profitable, I've done many, but you really need to know what you are doing. 

I'm feeling that I am being milked and preparing to get my attorney involved if we don't settle this soon.

I tried to skim most of the replies so I wouldn’t repeat what’s already been said but here’s my response to OP about real estate and retirement. 

But they are done milking us.5.

You could have as well restructured deal and provided deal improvement instead of trying to milk 5-6+% commissions on the new deal from invetors.

Figuring the seller was milking the property and doing minimal upkeep, the inspection team report has so far already helped me bring the seller down several 100K in asking price.
