Further, if the agent should find him/herself in a position of conflicting interests, the agent must disclose the dual agency (acting for two parties at the same time) or risk being accused of constructive fraud in regards to both or either principals.

Accused me of trying to get out of paying.

i would, but i'd make sure someone was with me as well...it's always best to have a witness with you so they can't accuse you of stealing their "50 inch plasma", which is really a 13 inch tv/vcr combo from the 90's!!

He's the main/only competition as far as signs are concerned.I found myself saying hmmm...I can't help but to wonder.Furthermore, I'm meeting with him in the am, per his invite, to talk about properties we both have and simply put faces to voices.Do any of you have any suggestions as to how to relay skepticism without accusing?

Your wife looked at the area and thought it was wood rot so had taken out and put new wood in it's place.The current purchasers are saying you did not disclose termite damage in the location.The buyers can accuse you of "fraudulent concealment" which is trying to cover up a known problem.If you simply took out wood rot and did not disclose that this was an area you thought was wood rot but were not sure then it could come back on you.If you are unsure you always disclose.This puts it back on the buyer to their "right of their own inquiry".If they fail to pay and do due diligence before a purchase then it's on them.If their termite report showed no damage in that area the termite inspector could say the seller covered it up with new wood.It's pretty easy to see if you have active termites versus wood rot so your wife claiming ignorance in my opinion in would not stand up in a court of law.I am not giving legal advice but it seems from the sellers stand point you could have handled this much better.If you were unsure about that area you could have had an acknowledgment signed before closing by you and the buyers.They then might have backed out of buying.If you made 20k profit and you have to settle for 1k you are still ahead of the game.You have to live and learn.No legal advice.

Especially if includes the chance to be accused of fraud by the former lender?

And your accusation is that the tenant and city are in cahoots.I'm not sure I agree.

You have to have thick skin sometimes, and retaliating to questions or accusations in a rude way is not going to help your cause.

But of course I have no conflict of interest and no prospect of direct financial gain nor any actionable inducement, all of which you can easily be accused of by "helping" potential investors fill out their personal financial statement used to determine their accreditation.After gaining experience with syndications that both profit and those that lose, you will begin to understand how every misstep, however well intended, will be used as a basis of action by investor's attorneys.

I am sick of the lies and the accusations from my renter that I am "trying to maker her feel like a deadbeat".My question is, is the lease valid since it wasn't signed correctly?
