Am happy to contact you, but thought this might be useful to others in a similar predicament.

I would go myself and repeat the process of what he did and get the phone number, then do the deal if i could.Then, i would attend his meetings and tell everyone what a moral hazard he IS.I would then post about it here on BP.Then, I would pay a visit to him - Disclaimer - (this part is hypothetical of course)

This is a business, and while having morals and doing the right thing are important, numbers are the key, not emotions.

Moral of the story, think outside the box, serve those who are not served but can sell or buy.

They leave the investor in a ongoing predicament in the case the new buyer doesn't follow through though, so just tread cautiously.  

If the answer to that question is "nothing" or isn't something significant, I'd suggest that each of you invest in your own (smaller) properties individually and work together to provide moral support for one another and strategic brainstorming sessions.

Moral of the story hear, you would not want to take a DIL as the first mortgagee from the borrower first, it would be a headache.

She will in no way be responsible for it.So the moral is dont try to hide things to 'get more than your share' or the like, and this probably only makes sense when both parties are getting along.Hope that helps someone out there.Dan Dietz

Moral of the story is that nothing beats finding (sometimes stumbling or sleeping on) a motivated seller.I suggest telling EVERYONE what you are trying to do.

Moral of the story, I don't agree with your inference.
