Fully understood your "no man left behind" mantra.

Depends does he want to be:1) Lender - Then a regularly amortizing loan pmt at a rate you agree on2) Equity partner - If he wants a share of the risk and potential for gain, I think I'd go for a min payment since he'll have the property as recourse (get someone that knows what they're doing to draft the agreement).Goal(s) in either case are protecting both your interests and clearly understood terms BEFORE you go into contract with them.

The last bathroom I did I went with an in-stock pebbled glass window, so my first thought is to do the same thing... and yes, like other people mentioned, I would probably put in a 24" by 24", witch would only use the top half of the opening.However, if this is going to be a long term hold, and if I understood correctly that the window is going to be inside the tiled surround....

I understood his situation but he had lots of pressure on him.   

I wish I understood sooner that you have to live somewhere.

I totally mis-understood the terms he was offering.

Thanks Jillian this is very helpful.A few questions:If I understood correctly, you need to file with the SEC (once I presume) and then once approved you need to file with every state where you advertise?

Makes it look like he just wants a quick sell and does not have your best interest in mind.If I understood the situation correctly, the agent did give a reason why, and it was pretty much as you said: he just wants a quick sell, and a lo-ball sale would mean a lo-ball commission.

If some one thinks that their $3000 is gone they've not understood what they purchased because that $3000 in no way guarantees funding for a specific deal or that we'll just take the borrower's (or often their agent who stands to profit) judgement on whether or not we should fund it.
