If its a small amount, putting ego/morals aside, it might be cheaper to pay him IF he places a lien.

To me it shows no morals or ethics whatsoever.. to even think this is OK.. just gets me.Like you I built a substantial sub too portfolio over the years.. but I also had more than one called.. and we stroked 100 to 300k checks for them.. there was a group here in PDX I think they got this from rich dad or another guru that came through town they did about 30 of these long term sandwich deals. and one by one the buyers flaked.. sub prime borrowers no matter where they are what they are .. are a big default risk.by the time they got to me  14 of the 30 were not paying.. and of course in our area mortgages are in the 1000 and above range.. and they are making their 200 a month delta.. but when you have 14,000 a month negative.. hostile owners of homes that know it takes a year to boot them.. and the folks you bought the house from are screaming.. ( many of these folks the credit was fine )  it was a cluster of epic proportions.. calls to AG to DA  come to Salem for a hearing..

Whereas I own the building and I have to deal with the disease that just spread......Moral of the story, numbers aren't everything, look at ALL aspects of the deal.

@Chris MasonBTW is 2% or points moral on these refinancing to get a rate of 3.375 with my credit score and ltv?

@Chris McDaniel I'm kind of surprised that they wanted to get out of their lease, the least they could do is hold up their end of the bargain on a moral standpoint since you helped them in a tough situation.
