A quick read would be The Richest Man in Babylon E myth

In the back of my head I'd like to get the old man involved too, he's got dimensia and always NEEDS a something to be working on. 

One book I haven't seen much mention of is the richest man in babylon (but on the top books list).

He threatened to fax over papers to my boss (the owner of the company I work for) and he also told me that if I did not set up payment by direct withdrawal, credit card or prepaid card within the next few days that a man would be coming to my office to serve my boss some papers.

Grant, thus making you the middle-man, or are you primarily fix/flipping, renting or wholesaling?

@Patrick D. man do you have a bad attitude.

@Keith Anderson Hey welcome to BiggerPockets man!

You can hire a handy man for $20 - 25 / hour or a punchout guy from a big time builder for the same rates.

He was attempting to get a 70 year old man to pull out a home equity loan against the home he'd been in for 30 years, in the amount of 35,000,  just to gain access to their software and educational material for a year. 

Acting as the middle man on a property you do not own, but pretend to own, without even notifying the real owner?
