Hello Chris,Thanks for the info man.  As

Let's put it this way: she was at the right place at the right time and knew her market well.Thanks for the compliment, and congrats on being off W-2 and working for yourself instead of the man. As

@Sam Amir you have good energy man. A

"I've never lost money to someone I didn't trust".........Because I never gave them any of my $$......he was very,  very good about earning people's trust....that's what make a con man a con man.

You Can Give A Man A Fish That Will Feed Him For A Day. 

Here is the exact scenario:The property was previously owned by my wife, titled to: Her Name, a married woman, as her sole and seperate property.She owed $275,000 on an interest only loan with a quickly approaching balloon payment for the full balance.After numerous attempt to modify to a 30-year fixed and being denied because of the amount owed she had no choice but to let it go and now lives in my home, which I own, as a married man as my sole and seperate property.A year later, the bank was has been unable to sell the home in a area flooded with REO's and it is now listed on the open market for $60,000.Given my prior knowledge of the properties history and condition, I would like to purchase it as my sole and seperate property and turn it into a rental.I just want to make sure I am not doing anything illegal or anything that would jeopordize my wife, my property or myself.

How do you define a successful man? A

Since that that would get rid of the middle man as that sounds like that's the ideal that you have right ?

@Mana Silva Great question, I'm interested in hearing some answers.

I am very disappointed with his work.I've got a great HVAC man, a very good handyman, but the other things?
