While the rational was to take the emotions out of the equation and I can respect that, my gut was telling me exactly what everyone above basically posted.  

My rational thought is that they cannot extend the eviction protections much more without some sort of compensation to the landlords.

I’m not concerned at all because technically..I’m just the middle man.

If there is a way to get him to move rationally without getting courts involved then that would be best. 

I would not ever put in coin operated anything in any property I owned, because there will regularly be phone calls to me (or a manager) related to those items.Whenever a phone call is made to you or a manager - even if this is related to a company who is supposed to provide the service ( a soda machine company, a coin-op laundry company), this still results in a cost to you, because you are the middle-man.  

Many states have laws against it and you run the liability and risk of pissing buyers and sellers off as the middle man.

My network of friends that does this often all fall under the thought process of put the documents in place, but we all prefer to work things out with people when there's an issue and avoid court, so I've discussed many different weird stories with my friends but I can't quote a case.Sorry I still don't understand the rational for having a mortgage in addition to an option.I believe your scenario is a red herring because you're not lending money to repair a roof, you're paying money to purchase an option and if you're going out 10 years it sounds a lot like the MV Realty business plan using an option instead of a listing agreement.

Obviously, a rational person isn't going to spend every dollar in the business account and would be pointless to let all cashflow sit in cash at a bank and never make any money personally.If you have any information to share, that would be appreciated.

Once established, you will be designated trustee of the 401k and will have full control over it, without any middleman.

It sounds like this is what he was told and he's just reiterating it.He just doesn't realize that the information he's been given (and paid for) is wrong...Where does the rational mind go at these events?
