If I think the inheritance will harm her, it'll be set up in a way I see fit that provides what she needs and nothing more. 

My experience, education, was the deal at the disadvantage of others, was anyone harmed anyone suffer a loss, did I advertise the contract or the property, was I involved in settlement or did I act in having the transaction  closed, did I show the property by myself??????

Brian you seem to be very interested in treating people very fairly and really helping them and that's what I am all aboutMany wholesalers who have been taught " to step on people to make money "contact me because they want to help Sellers fix problems and develop a reputation for being fair and honestI had one of my students that was a wholesaler for five years and really hated it because he had to keep going back to the seller to push the price down because the cash buyer wanted to cheaper priceI look at the best way to get started in real estate is to get your license and solve problems for sellers and get testimonials on your website that you were honest and fair helping them solve their problemMy dad was a poor Irish second-generation in Boston and had no money when he was a kid and he became an orthopedic surgeonHe told me "do no harm" when I was a boyI think to me "the wholesaling fever pitch seminar racket" is "stepping on people to make money"An alternative to the "wholesaling only" model is to be able to "help sellers sell on terms verses for cash"Ron LeGrand in Tampa has said to his students get licensed because of the brokering laws in FLI really feel that people should just do the right thing in the beginning, learn every legal way to help people with real estate, and you'll develop a reputation for being a great fair business personif your licensed you can act as a principal and use creative techniques like subject to, lease-option assignment, wraparound mortgages, master lease options, master leases, whatever tool works for the situation

I don't see any harm in their impression of themselves on BP, but a bit more care might be in order when someone is speaking with someone who really is an investor, one with experience and means as they may be laughing behind that smile, knowing the difference between an operator and an investor.   

Therefore if we didn't mesh or I disagreed with their character or principles then we would naturally distance ourselves with no harm no foul.I can tell you I have gotten into mentoring simply by folks like yourself seeking me out, obviously in my area. 

I specifically put you in there because I've heard your the direct mail expert, so no harm in promoting the company.

Let him know you meant no harm which you probably did convey that.  

You can accomplish the same thing with a TIC arrangement for years and using the estate planning tools keeps the investor out of harm's way much better than a Sub-To deal.So Brian, you want the docs, well, this project has been off and on for several years actually, we haven't discussed TICs in depth on BP before because I needed to brush off the tactics to ensure compliance with all the changes that have come about in real estate the past few years.

If the seller is happy with $45K and a fast sale, as opposed to a six month battle with selling it, is there any harm in that?
