If you could get the purchase price down, that may be a different story, and this is of course only my personal opinion.

Long story short, it's being reported to the authorities and he'll be serving some time behind bars.I would love to hear about your story.

He is clouding your title, and based on your side of the story, he doesn't have a good reason to, didn't have the intent or ability to close anyway.I'm not a lawyer, but this sounds like a slam dunk counter suit.

It's encouraging to hear your story and I hope I can get my journey started and start building up equity and wealth, one house at a time!

I like to get a reference and then ask the reference for another reference (so you get someone who isn't biased or preloaded to give a good review).My wife and I just had our first baby this year and between my California rentals and my Ohio rentals I spend more time on the Ohio ones, but it's all from home so I get to spend more quality time with the family, so that's another benefit one you get a few under your belt.I'll be happy to chat sometime and share a few stories, just PM me.

There are many superstar stories on BP, mine has been more of a grind.

Lack of experience (in other words this would be our first deal and we're not scared of a project but lenders are another story)2.
