As someone who unexpectedly dealt with breast cancer (I'm in my 40s and have no family history), I can tell you that just one single dose of chemo treatment is billed at thousands of dollars. 

Yes, everyone has to start somewhere, but the problem with the Bro Investor is that he is ruining good deals for the other real wholesalers and off-market experts in the area.

You can relieve them of the tax and upkeep burdens while helping them (re)build their credit, if they've been behind on payments.It's possible you're assuming that the investor is going to stiff them and finish ruining their credit, also losing the property when the lender forecloses or the county puts it to tax sale.With recent changes to the tax laws, it may make more sense for the seller than contract-for-deed in some cases.Not sure what brought this on, but sure hope you feel better soon! 

And one bad deal at the beginning of your investing career can ruin you.

I was willing to lose everything I invested because I knew it would not ruin me.I knew that I would not lose my primary residence (I am responsible for putting a roof over my families head and food on the table) and at the end of the day I had my job which would easily maintain our below means lifestyle that we had.It all worked out so far. 

Keep in mind this is the same message that you will see when someone is using a CPN instead of their SSN.When someone has abused their own credit and is not interested in fixing it they will acquire a CPN ( credit privacy number )Calling it a CPN is kind of silly since the vast majority of them are criminals finding unissued SSN's and using them as their own.To give a very brief and simple explanation of how this works:Loser with fried SSN and ****** credit history decides they want a CPN so they can use that on applications and credit related things instead of their own ruined legit SSN.They contact any of the thousand "CPN credit repair" companies who issue them a CPN for a fee.
