naw, just a personal favor for a friend.

If it is, here is my advice. 1) Seller financing can be attractive - make sure you understand the terms (int rate, pmt, etc) and negotiate the most favorable for you.

Do you self a BIG favor and buy Lonnies books.

In California the rules are heavily weighted in favor of the renter - you can get tied up for months without rent - are you still offering the guaranteed return?

We deal in an environment in the real estate industry in this country in which the "standard" residential property sale contract greatly favors the buyer.

The waiting list did not exist until I asked to be on it, but it worked out in my favor because the guy who converted the apartments into condos was going to keep one of the one bedroom units for himself, but he decided to sell at the last minute.

I believe it settled in court in her favor.

Not sure if the judge did them a favor or not.

Is there any way this would play out in my favor?

As Mike said, we don't do ourselves any favors when the govt steps in and rewards bad behavior or a bad business model by bailing companies out.
