WTF! Wednesdays v3

Thankfully, I haven’t had any recent WTF moments. However, I’ve got archives for days. So this comes from the seller of the booty buttcheeks deal…many months ago. To refresh your memory, I was on track to make 6K on that POS house and the seller backed out because he didn’t quite grasp the concept of a short-sale. However, this short-sale didn’t involve a bank, but rather various lien holders.
So the following is an excerpt from the conversation I had with the seller at his house, while I was trying to reason with him I took a subtle stab at a threat:
Me: This house is upside-down, you’re not going to net anything at closing. And I’ll pay all of your closing costs, so you won’t have to spend money to sell your house.
Him: This was my Mom’s house and I’m not going to give it away.
Me: That’s understandable…but it’s not like I’m not paying for the property, it’s just all going to the lien holders. Besides any one of these lien holders could foreclose on you at any moment.
Him: We agreed on 9K and that’s what I’m expecting.
Me: Paying you money outside of closing is illegal and I’d also be paying double
Him: Well this just isn’t going to work
Me: Well I’d like for us to come to an understanding…it would be best for us to stay out of court
Him: Well I have a few things up my sleeve….I’d like to take my chances in court
Me: (internally): “F#&K!”
What a dumbass that guy was. I didn’t expect him to call my bluff though. This deal wasn’t worth the costs of a specific performance suit. Maybe if the spread was 26K and not 6K. I’d be cool if I lived the rest of my life without seeing him ever again or hearing his country-ass voice. That goes for his ignant sister too. Yes, I said, “ignant”….and I’m almost getting pissed-off just from reminiscing. So I’m done.
*Accountability Monday tasks will go for next Monday. My problem is that I need to print out those tasks. Too many weeks pass when I work on other stuff.
