If you can find a good deal.  I would certainly not go out and buy a bunch of full price houses from a builder and assume the value will go up in the next year.

No. No. No.  He wants to play hard ball.  A lawyer could not suggest the following but this is what I would do.

1)  File an official complaint to the city.  Claim they are violating your rights because they did not like you.

2)  Say you believe the contractor damaged your building to lower your property value because of a potential eminent domain case because someone at the city does not like you.

3)  Explain to them that the city should not damage the property in any manner because you might ask that it be returned to you as part of a 42 U.S.C 1983 claim.

4)  Explain to them that you will be morally obligated to give notice to any potential buyer or anyone providing financing of the potential litigation.

5)  Explain to them you would love to save everyone the years of time and the fortune in legal fees but now that the city has resorted to violence, it is hard to imagine them paying a fair price.

That is what I would do if they were mean to me and damaged my building with an excavator.

My sister had a funny situation a few weeks ago.  Someone demanded she give them a $350 a month discount because they were a single mother.   My sister had to explain, if she gave out $350 a month discounts it would not be long before she was also single mother.

Gordon. The agent Luis de la Fuente has started harassing me by e-mail now.  I have forwarded the entire email chain to his broker.  I have also warned him that I will file complaints with TREC and any Realtor Association his broker is a member of if I get another e-mail from him.

If I get another e-mail from Luis I will also send a complaint to the broker via certified mail just to make sure TREC will follow their rules and hold responsible for the actions of his sponsored agent.

By the way, the "poor choice of words" was part of form e-mail response.

Bigger Pockets put me into contact with them a few days ago.  Today they sent me an e-mail.  There was a huge red flag in the e-mail to me.

They wanted to meet with me to explain how their contract works.  Are they lawyers?  The person that sent me the e-mails is not.  Were they going to have their lawyer give me legally advice?  Why could this not have been done in writing?

If for some reason, you decide to deal with them.  Record every word they say.  My lawyers say the e-mail makes them concerned about real estate agents practicing law without a license or their lawyers not properly disclosing conflicts of interest.
