@Jonathan CisnerosHave someone on your team that can sell, for example I have a business partner who raises the money and I am the mad scientist with the numbers and managementMany times those good at one thing are not great at the other.

Well you tell the person "my bad, here is $50k"The neighbors are mad that he not only runs a "hotel" but he's trying to pitch it to a new owner as a hotel vs. selling it to a family that would occupy the space.Re OB -- yeah, I lived in PB and I don't think anyone cares as it's not like many people make main homes out of a place in OB on the beach. 

I’m really fina get mad!

In my area, they ask for and hold my drivers license while I have the file.

There is no benefit for private lenders or HML today to do this strategy as they are completely in the drivers seat being able to dictate terms as liquidity becomes more and more an issue.
