TRUE private money is simply someone you know.. your dentist lending out of his SIDRAor someone you meet at the RIA's and start talking too.. they are doing 1 to 3 deals a year and its not their business.Anyone doing anymore of that or advertising in anyway is not a private lender.. they are HML that are in business.. when you see rates that rival full doc bank loans from a HML or private lender then that is a HUGE Red flag..

I would just chalk those up to an angry, bitter person, and send him down the road at the expiration of the lease. 

At the time, everyone thought I was crazy, but I was convinced that something so corrupt and such an obvious Ponzi scheme as the Greek economy was never going to make it.I was angry and I was bitter in those years. 

If you treat people like crap, then life will treat you like crap and one day you will be a bitter old man posting nasty things on internet forums.

Interesting I have been watching some that have built 'air tight' mass walls like ICF (I dont like) to the new DOE 2012 IECC code coming to all states, that in the NE cold bitter climate zone are off the grid on solar or geo, using new electric HVAC ductless single zoned called 'minisplits' some though wish they had installed another zone or two or 'air handlers'....nice about these besides being 97% efficient is each room can be set at a different temp unlike forced air that is becoming obsolete due to low efficiency and leaky ducts in unconditioned space robing u-bills.
