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?

I think that is my main concern - I don't want any red flags to go up and have people accusing me of making low-ball offers just so i can get a listing, if I do decide to become an agent up there

I think it's sad that we've gotten to the point where we can not support who we like without being accused of hating the U.S.I am tired of uneducated, out of work, no clue having people blaming government for their woes.I am also tired of those who kept their heads in the sand and mouths closed while the house of cards was being built now spewing their ignorance on every message board known to man.

Earlier today, Josh accused me of not being on here enough and threatened to boot my @ss (see, I told you, he just loves to threaten me, like a big 'ol bully) if I didn't participate more.
