@Nat Chan  and for the reasons you mention is why US and Aussie marketing companies targeted AU... for selling Ghetto properties for 10X what they were worth and not giving a single thought to the havoc they were creating to the poor naïve trusting AU investor.the amount of financial sociopathic behavior that I personally witnessed with US and AU SO called turn key companies and marketing companies was just absolutely the worst.Now not all were like that but there were enough of them to create some very sad situations.I was contacted by one Aussie who bought what was suppose to be a fully renovated 4 plex in Youngstown Ohio and it turned out it was gutted he paid 120k for it the seller paid 11k at tax sale never touched it..

@Nicole W. It's

Chances are, if you can't do it in a place as meaningless as cyberspace on a forum, you don't make a good witness. 

Or I have witnessed much higher negotiations between parties... some of these guys were just so brazen it was unreal.I was not mr popular If I wanted a property I bid what I would pay and disregarded the attempts to buy me off.Although there were many who showed up to the sales with NO intention of buying and just hoping for a payoff...I remember some guys in either NC or SC getting nailed by the feds about 07 or so.. 800k fine and not sure about jail.In my really early years in Oakland CA Alameda county..

I believe that is what we are witnessing with many of these folks that 'invested' in these types of programs.

Put the issue before some of the accountants on this site as well.On the other hand you can answer my post with your usual, how arrogant you are, put on your big boy pants, etc. without ever really stating a single fact.I do admit I feel a bit guilty about this exchange of comments, as a type of battle of the wits, it is almost like shooting an unarmed man.  

He is also called as an expert witness in credit-related litigation. 

So if you want to pursue this, you'll need to find some kind of witness or documentation that the seller knew about this defect.

I recently went through a house in Omaha that had probably one of the top 5 most disgusting bathrooms I can recall personally witnessing (and that is saying something). 

i am at my wits end.
