Yes, but he/she could also face consequences (litigation) for defaming a person in writing (libel). 

What is the best way to utilize this HELOC to grow my real estate portfolio and mitigate the risks of borrowing a large sum and not pay it back or worse consequences.

The young / less well off populations are shouldering this inflation and we now see the consequences.

I spoke to the landlord today and explained to him about the consequences about not abiding by the rules and he assured me that he wasn't aware of any wrong doing. 

One misstep can throw off everything and result in a lot of tax consequences.

Love them, discipline them, put expectations on them, and follow through when consequences are necessary. 

I've seen it a few times under differing scenarios but with the same consequence.

IMO, the problem is not subject to per se; the problem is that there are now hordes of inexperienced, undercapitalized wanna be investors trying to buy homes “subject to “ with no idea or thought as to the consequences of a default.

These are fears you have to live with in REI, and choices which have consequences that you have to make.

And offer #4 is a distant last place: The buyer could walk on day 29 if they are unable to secure financing with no consequences.
