Are you sure it was the best idea to beat out the other offers to be in this predicament?

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Another new investor story with the moral of 'bid it right'I got a call from a Realtor friend that there was a house that was doing a one day 'best and final'.

Ultimately, this isn’t just a moral question; it’s about ensuring clear, documented terms to avoid issues down the line.

And just to state again I am aware that selling 1M in bitcoin won’t move the market I just used that as a hypothetical number I don’t want to reveal how much I am selling but it’s much more than that.And just to clarify I am not looking to settle in bitcoin so the volatility of BTC/USD is not an issue I would pay whatever BTC is required to get to the USD value at close.Jerry I get your predicament in using your Bitcoins as collateral as I am also of the same mindset that I would rather hold onto my Bitcoins until the last minute and then transfer them to USD to make a transaction occur as I am bullish on Bitcoin.

I know David K wants to think any of us that do not take his position based on his post thinks we lack Morals and Character. 

Right now I find myself in a similar predicament to you following your enrichment of knowledge from real estate books and guides.

You morally support it. 

Well, this is a wonderful thread.All I can really contribute with enough experience to be absolutely sure of what I say: if you live on the coasts and your spreadsheet tells you your best passive returns over the long haul are going to be in the Rust Belt in cheap rentals, then your spreadsheet needs to be looked at by someone with a lot more experience in cheap Rust Belt rentals than you have.My own take on the musings here of why everyone wants to quit their job these day and its possible connection to young people and their participation trophies, their possible work-ethic failings, moral turpitude, contemptible world outlook, lack of grit, et hoc genus omne...yeah, I know I don't know squat about all that.

The moral of the story is both auctions are public auctions conducted by the county, however those powers are vested in the county by Sheriff or Clerk.

Have your attorney send your contractor a letter explaining your dissatisfaction, any legal, ethical, or moral violations his operating methods result in, and making him an offer BELOW your “target” amountbest of luck I have an attorney that I considered speaking with on this matter, but I’m not sure that he specializes in things like this.
