Now, if the deal is so sweet that someone may want to step into your shoes prior to closing for a large fee, make the contract including the seller financing terms freely assignable and ironclad.Good luck.

Standard disclaimer I’m not a Financial Advisor and this isn’t financial advice.I’d buy REITs in your shoes.

Any advice on what you would do in my shoes?

Lord--- I pray one day I am in your shoes one day so I can come back from that S""" like the Gladiator!

If I were in your shoes, I’d consider a few key factors before diving in:1.Risk Tolerance:Ask yourself, “If the worst-case scenario happened and I lost this money, could I recover?”

If I'm in your shoes, I would probably ask myself what the procuring clause of the client/agreement was? 

@Robert WestenbergerIf I were in your shoes, I would focus on multi-family homes, single-family homes with ADUs, or live-in flips, and explore financing options like FHA loans, conventional loans, or first-time buyer programs.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Don Konipol100% agreeWho knows how this pans out but if you go tohttps://noradacapital.com it says current holdings and those include radio shack, pier 1, linens and things etc.So without seeing any paperwork you were investing in essentially an accredited mutual fund from someone who says they were a real estate guyFor me - if I put myself in those shoes as a real estate guy trying to run a fund of private or public companies all not real estate related- I have ZERO experience in that.

There's plenty more topics to consider, imagine yourself in their shoes living in a home with 4 other random strangers. 

Last trip, I stopped at Goodwill and others and bought a ton of Cargo pants, Black dress shoes, and dri fit shirts for around USD$1 to $3 each.
