@Ben Feder The cheapest price of admission for investing is house hacking.

By your own admission, you are using the computer and printer 20% for business, which means if you did take the expense, it would be only 20% of that expense.

Good lord.I'd wager this title company has done this before and therefore, in the future, add a condition to each Offer to Purchase that you will not buy if the Seller orders title through the XYZ Title Company.Today, because I'm not very nice, I'd email the title company a response which includes (a) an admission that the title company wrongly removed the credits without your permission and (b) an apology with a guarantee that they will not to it again in the future.NEVER HAPPENS in Illinois because Buyers are represented by Attorneys and we would never tolerate a title company that takes orders unilaterally from the Sellers.Once the Buyer has signed the Alta Statement based on the figures attached to that signature, the title company simply cannot remove credits, which require that you to bring in more money to closing, without your permission.Good luck.    

Paying the interest rate to the private investor for 6 months is worth the price of admission if you are truly picking up that much equity. 

One is with REAPS, typically charges admission and you need to rsvp in advance:  https://www.reapsweb.com/meeting-schedule...and another that's been managed via meetup.com and facebook.

By asking what you can do to make it right is not an admission of guilt or accepting responsibility, it’s just asking what would make them happy.

The seller chose to ignore these issues for a decade by their own admission, and you are taking the problem off their hands.

By your own admission you are a scammer and will do ANYTHING for a buck.

That last bit is something literally nobody but me thinks about (because I've been trying cases in court for years now, so admissibility is always on my mind), but it definitely comes in handy to do business via systems in case you ever find yourself embroiled in a lawsuit.
