Even when pressed for customized tax planning advice, he could or would not deliver.

Hes from NY and kept pressing on the issue that a house like the one he was selling was worth X amount in NY and i told him its a completely different market and theres so many other circumstances bringing the value of his property down, but because hes a contractor i guess he felt entitled to whatever amount he asked for.

As far as the details, I assumed you think in a manner similar to myself and I'd be hard pressed to give a contractor that kind of money if I felt an inclinations they too were not attentive to details.

Has she identified a new property that she is pressed to close on?

When pressed I just say what my concerns are and tell them it's not personal, its just a business decision.

Make sure you get one of the first copies off the press.

Sure, people can be snippy about the extreme bad press (some well founded, much NOT) about the likes of Detroit, but I believe there HAS to be a better return available from leveraging out that $300k than just $28k, (and just as safely, if not more so), somewhere in the country!
