When I loan privately as a private lender, I have complete risk of my capital, I make all decisions and I suffer the consequences or rewards of my actions!  

Quote from @Marshall Rousseau: They sound like awful tenants.When you expect something from someone, give them a deadline and a consequence for failing to respond."

You have every right to promote what you offer but you don't have the right to continue to lie & mislead without consequences! 

@Carlos PtriawanThe best part of being an investor is that investors get to make decisions where they place their capital AND then benefit or suffer from the consequences of those decisions.I can say NO ONE has ever become wealthy investing in CDs.I can say MANY folks have become wealthy investing in real estate.I can’t predict what the future will hold but the long term trend (unequivocally) is the price of real estate both sale and rent increases over time.I’ll keep my capital in real estate not CDs.

@Ashley DennisYou may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

And while housing stability is important I think that people need to understand that their behavior is important to and it has consequences.  

But, have you fully considered the consequences of not pulling a permit?

Well, actually they have overdone it and will suffer the consequences for the next 20 years, but it worked regardless.Secondly, even if we get into a recession, outside of the evening news that has zero implications for 95% of the population.

@Andrew GrimmettTechnically you do not own the property because you did not record the deed - so my guess is you cannot write off any expenses on it since you don’t own it.You probably want to talk to an attorney about this - as also if something were to happen to your grandfather and there are other family members they could contest the quit claim deed - but this will have tax and legal consequences so you should seek those two specialists for this specific situation

Since sensitive information is necessary to the negotiations but disclosing parties may suffer harm if this information leaks, an NDA works to put parties at ease and spell out the consequences of a breach.An NDA could also impact future contractual obligations or business opportunities.
