[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't necessarily think OP shouldn't move to Utah, it seems to be what is best for her family and opportunities aren't always easy to come by and OP isn't obligated to live in the house for 30,20 even 10 years really. BUT and BIG BUT- this was NOT the way to go about this.

[b]This person is clearly a great friend and decided to make an investment that would directly benefit the OP. [/b]Why would you leave a message and send a letter?!

You really should have gone to your friend, told her about the opportunity and how you know the timing is quick and worked out a plan. Maybe husband would go first and you would be behind for 3-6 months or something (he could rent a really cheap studio or something while looking for the family residence if money is an issue) you would help secure renters, you would NOT leave them in the lurch.

I think its more the ridiculously short "notice" you gave to friends that is a problem. At the end of the day, the friends have a real estate investment so I believe if you had gone about this differently WITH them, talking about wanting to move to family and taking an opportunity that may not come again this could have all gone very differently and they might have even wished you well![/quote]

No Helen made a real estate investment she believed would benefit her.

I'm the PP you quoted and I believe she did both.  The [b]investment[/b] was for her, but perhaps the timing and what not were clearly driven by the friend's situation. She may not have made that investment decision on her own at that time. It appears to be at least partially motivated by wanting to help a friend. BUT I'm not foolish enough to not see that Helen probably saw this as a "win-win" not just a benevolent decision.[/quote]

eh, fraud with "noble" intentions - nice.  Notice to HH:  fraud is not noble.  It is illegal for a reason.[/quote]
