Wow, Charles had the opportunity to buy a fully reconditioned home that was
in excellent condition from a responsible home renovator. Instead he
failed miserably and has the nerve to call me a crook behind my back.
I have managed single family rental properties and provided quality
resale housing here in Colorado Springs for over 15 years. I have
received many thanks and even a letter of recommendation from past
tenants.
Charles was leasing and had contracted to buy my house. With 6 months left on his lease and 6 months to qualify for a mortgage, Charles hadn't even begun to get his finances squared away.
Wanting him to be successful, I pointed Charles towards several mortgage brokers who could help to prepare him to get a mortgage to complete the purchase of the home that he had contracted to buy.
I even negotiated for Charles to remain in the home for several extra months, so that Charles could line up his financing and not lose his earnest money deposit.
Finally, when he didn't purchase the home as promised; and he stopped paying rent, I had no choice but to have him evicted. It cost me over $11,000 to get him out and to repair the house. Things didn't exactly go my way either.
Charles requested mediation and I agreed. The result was not in his favor and he is obviously upset. He should be mad at himself. I gave him every opportunity to be successful, but it was not to be.
After reading the article about Fairbanks Capital, I see another instance of Charles not living up to his contractual obligations and blaming others. Charles just isn't responsible for his own actions.
His lawyer didn't find any wrong doing on my part. That's because I acted with integrity and was generous in allowing him several extra months to get his finances in order and offered him help at every turn until he stopped paying rent and had to be evicted.
His lawyer probably missed his eviction hearing because there was no defense for not paying rent, just as there was no defense for not fulfilling the purchase contract.
I never had to evict anyone but Charles, and never had a complaint, even from Charles. I operate my business with the highest integrity and fairness. Too bad Charles, you missed out on buying a fantastic home. Good luck with your current and future mortgage issues.

I just got notice today that they are officially requesting my local County for holding the Forclosure sale. I paid they registered mail - certified funds the amount that I was (not really right) owed - including all the trumpted up charges and late fees, etc. Plus the checks that they lost and I have duplicate copies of. I actually got them to fax me a copy of the breakdown. I paid them the $3800.00 they wanted and I get this mail today that I am still in default. They need to get what Household got and soon..
