Trust me, they are super super easy.

I could serve as a trusted local resource for them, doing what I can to find the right buyer, and earning a small markup from a wholesale price to retail. 

If local lenders aren't interested, there are national commercial lenders who would probably consider this one. 

Trust has no place in this business.

Why on earth would you trust me to sell you an investment property, if we have never ever met.

I'm also:A Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist (RDN – Credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration)Board Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE – Credentialed by the National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators)Advanced Diabetes Educator in insulin Pump Therapy (ADEPT – Credentialed by the The Joslin Diabetes Center).I started out in the SFR world and lending Private Money but I currently ONLY focus on Syndicating Apartment Communities.

Or do I draw a hard line in the sand and point to the HOA rules drawn out in the Trust, Bylaws, and CC&R's and pursue legal action if he continues to refuse responsibility?

And trust me, when you actually start doing deals, you will want somebody that can help you out. 

I do agree that you need to find someone you trust.

It looks like US will become a Renter Nation.
