ST, I try to not say too much to BIL, he is actually the only on in her family that I talk to since I work for/with him. He knows what I've been going thru since it has affect my working so much. He told me early on that I was a great guy and whatever I had to do (like "drop the hammer on her" in his words) he'd support. I've been talking less and less to him about her and he has been asking less and less. He used to ask me about her everytime I talked to him (which is more than I talk to my wife usually) but he has stopped asking. He told me that I "should certainly get an A for effort" since I'm hanging in here and not kicking her butt to the curb for how she is acting/treating me. Anyhow it is something I have been trying to cut back and even tho' it is nice to get advice and support from him, I'm trying not to do so anymore. My wife talks to him now and then, maybe once a month or so.
We had a meeting all afternoon with the lenders and it sounds like they have multiple options for us and can do 40 loans right away for us and are working on 2 other avenues, one of which will give us supposedly unlimited loans. I came up with some key solutions and ideas and BIL said I was a "rocket scientist" and he knew that I wasn't just here because "I'm married to his sister." I have to decided what I'm willing to risk in this venture, BIL keeps asking me "how many houses are you going to buy!" The others, including BIL, are ready to buy, buy, buy and I have to decided if I'm going to buy too and how fast and how many. I think I'm going to go for it, just have to decided how "big" I'm going and how to deal with my wife along the way. Have to write up a new business plan and do a bunch of other work, trying to get to a show tonight tho' since tomorrow we play golf and head out of Vegas for home.
