When we first moved to Florida a guy wanted to give us a really nice boat and set us up in a charter business in the Caymens. It wouldn't cost us a cent. He took us out to breakfast to discuss. It was a great deal. Afterwards I told my wife "wait, it's coming". The next day he took us to lunch to give us more details. A great boat, we risk nothing, the guy takes a piece of the profits. We put up nothing, stand to make a great living and get a free boat. After lunch I told my wife "Wait, it's coming". The third day he bought us lunch again. The financing of the deal had something to do with T-bills. The government ends up financing everything, it costs us nothing.....all we have to do is put up $20,000 "good faith money". I thanked him for lunch and told him we'd get back to him. When we went outside I looked at my wife and said: "There it is".
Buy nothing you don't see,and verify the ownership. Cross all T's and dot all i's. Have a lawyer you know and have dealt with go over anything you will sign. The devil is in the details and the financing could have you losing your home. More than a few pieces of swampland have been sold.
Has anyone mentioned to you that boats are big holes in the water in which to throw your money?
Have you wondered why this great deal is coming to someone 5,000 miles away and not someone living in Florida?
With all I'm saying there is a lot I'm not. You've given out too many details here. This guy undoubtedly has your number.
