You are so much smarter than the dummies who have gotten their brokers license and actually studied real estate law. 

I'm studying information here to figure out a way to make the equity in my home useful in some way, and I hope that something I have already been through will be able to help someone else, too.

You'll find a lot of no-hype assistance here.

I provided a study that included a guy who doubled the price of generators and went to jail after a hurricane.

If he is short on cash, can he get a loan, borrow money from relatives or friends, sell some of his possessions, pawn some of his belongings, get assistance from a social service agency?

In my experience, there aren't many agents who will be helpful with this process other than assisting in determining value.Good luck.
