Don't you think its a little shady for an attorney to offfer a "half-price" deal? IMHO is is NOT ETHICAL to try to coerce you into buying one product in one industry by offering you a discount on another product in another industry. To me, this is like those TV offers where you buy one piece of junk and get a second for 'free,' but only if you pay a super-inflated shipping & handling. How do you feel about that? Maybe I am misunderstanding this situation? Anyhoo, this doesn't mean, as Jim says, that you shouldn't deal with him at all. If the owners won't deal with you (and they prob. won't as thei trust at this point prob. lies with the broker) and you have your heart set on this deal, and your FIL says its a smart move, well then you don't have a lot of choice! Maybe Jim has some experience with this and can tell you how to do it? (I'm learning so much from Jim!!) I wouldn't let him set up the corp. for ME tho. |
