Certainly, we can all agree that every segment of society has a few bad actors.However, in your post, you set out haranguing other landlords (that posted above, as you state) for some perceived wide-ranging ill that there does not appear to be any evidence for, at least on this thread.To baselessly condemn the entire profession without that merit, to me, does indeed reinforce a false narrative.If I were to muse publicly, as you did, that since a few individuals belonging to an industry (or ethnicity) did wrong, paint them all with a broad unilateral brush and declare “and people wonder why (that group) have a bad name”, I’ll bet you’d use a harsher term than “false narrative” to describe that sentiment.Landlords have a very unfair negative public image because of a very small percentage of individuals in the industry, and you are not helping.

I see merits in both but lean toward LOC.

Down almost $20k for what was looking like a good month.I'm not debating the merits of the virus, just if others are being impacted.

@Charles Cooper“The only issue I need is capital”.You and about three million other people.We get about 50-75 requests for capital per week.First, we eliminate any request where the borrower/syndicator doesn’t have a significant amount of his own capital in the dealNext, we eliminate people inexperienced in investing in the type of property being presentedThen, we eliminate people who are unrealistic about the cost of our capitalOnce a proposed deal makes it through the above, we will review the merits of the proposed deal.

And I have to add, MY WAY proves its merit anytime s&*t hits the fan.....

It's awesome that they received a merit badge in pottery making while in prison, but it's foolish to risk your investment on fanciful trust that they are part of the small percentage of people who turned their life around while incarcerated.

I suggest talking to a good real estate attorney - many offer a free consultation to see if your case has merit and worth pursuing. 

But then of course, not having all your eggs in one basket does have its merits.

Finders fees are fine, but why isn't this unit generating interest on it's own merit?

Your offer should be fair enough to stand on its own merit.
