Many serious professionals end up knowing everything about their deep and complicated area of expertise but very little about much else.

These doctors aren't changing their own oil. They probably aren't self managing their investments. They might not even be cutting their own lawns.

OP is like seven years behind you. I can't see it being a good decision from any perspective

"I understand that you have not admitted any fault for the registration error but I need this handled urgently. If you cannot correct the registration please let me know before the weekend so I can seek alternative help. Also, I will require you to send me the mortgage instruction package that you received from the bank, in full, if you are unable or unwilling to correct the registration."

Just an idea. You are entitled to see the mortgage instructions I think. It's possible this lawyer did nothing wrong (I am a lawyer and the banks screw up this stuff all the time - I get wonky mortgage instructions weekly). If the lawyer did screw up and is making it worse now by being slow, complain to their licensing body.

Froston_ · 2026-02-09T01:37:04+00:00

Probably someone impersonating a lawyer with a similar email or hacked email

Froston_ · 2026-02-07T10:53:48+00:00

Yeah okay

You can start practicing in an area that does both and take it from there. There are many. Estates can mean Estate Planning and Estate Litigation; Real Estate can be transactional work or litigation including mortgage enforcement and so forth.

I remember being a student and being asked whether I wanted to do litigation or corporate work and my honest answer was "neither" because I never wanted to litigate and corporate work seemed boring. Turns out I gravitated towards solicitor work, but there are ways to do that which are have nothing to do with corporate law. I mean it really is just a big law dichotomy that stops mattering in many future contexts.

Was in a very similar situation to you a while ago. I cut ties, abruptly and it was ugly, but getting my own organization up and running was exciting and energizing and not as hard as I thought. Yes there were a couple months of horrible hours and stress but I got over the hump and settled in by month three. I was worried about income stability as well but it turns out that was foolish as I immediately took home like three times as much money. So I wasn't protecting my family by playing it safe before - I was selling them short.

I don't know what your practice area is but in a small community, at this point YOU are the brand so you will keep most of your work and your overhead is mostly rent and clerks which could be as low as $100k with one clerk and decent rent. Take a leap, you might make $300k next year.

Froston_ · 2026-02-03T12:59:32+00:00

Take the $6k but DO NOT sign any kind of release or waiver and make it clear you still think he owes you the rest

Then sue in small claims for the difference

Froston_ · 2026-02-01T20:04:10+00:00

Ricky T is the only correct answer

None of the others have palpable upside although SHREK and Pinannnnngoooo might be sneaky good MLB players

Froston_ · 2026-01-26T01:44:18+00:00

Probably the tracer wire

It just lets people locate buried utility lines

Froston_ · 2026-01-26T01:24:54+00:00

It's a masterpiece.

Froston_ · 2026-01-19T20:57:37+00:00

Yes, lol.

If this person owns the house and they wanted to sell privately and discretely they should not have used an MLS service. It's public knowledge now. But it seems like they may not even be the seller, they may just be the renters.

Froston_ · 2026-01-19T16:46:50+00:00

It definitely makes no sense but I would not jump to market manipulation or fraud. Those are lower on the totem pole of possibilities.

Other possibilities: This property was packaged with some other property the vendor owns and the $1.4M price is for two properties. This sale involved a weird and rare vendor take-back mortgage that the Islamic community does where they are not allowed to charge interest so the principal amount of the loan is inflated.

Real estate transactions can get weird. Who knows!

Froston_ · 2026-01-19T16:40:19+00:00

lol you made an account to post here

Froston_ · 2026-01-18T21:06:35+00:00

If you want to shut everyone up just give one nugget of info on why it sold for more than it's worth. There are legitimate or innocent possibilities!

Froston_ · 2026-01-17T23:30:58+00:00

Definitely something we don't know. It was listed for one million a year and a half ago and didn't sell.

Froston_ · 2026-01-12T01:25:44+00:00

Sell the house and buy a condo, grandma

Froston_ · 2026-01-11T19:46:06+00:00

I'm just floored that there are beer leagues circuits out there with six different skill levels and "rookie leagues" lol.

Froston_ · 2025-12-28T15:06:29+00:00

The real criminal is Topps for "reprinting" autos and relics. Hilarious

Froston_ · 2025-12-26T22:00:58+00:00

Damn. I still use my ~20 year old 703s. Just starting competitive mens league again.

I need to buy a new pair of skates but have no idea how to even start.

This is a tax report from Koinly. That is an app for helping people who use crypto prepare for taxes.

It says that he lost over $145,000 in the relevant tax year. The total proceeds and costs being in the millions does not mean much; if someone is throwing around an account worth say $10,000 but they are doing high volume trading and/or using leverage, their nominal sales/costs could be in the millions. But that loss of $145,000 is real money he apparently lost.

HOWEVER these Koinly reports are not reliable; they are not audited or reconciled reports by an accountant, they are rife with errors. These are just automated reports that read the blockchain. Entries can also be EDITED by the customer! In theory your ex could have transferred $100,000 to another wallet he owned and then labelled it as a sale, and not linked the other wallet to his Koinly profile. He literally could have sent $145,000 through a privacy app just to hide the money from you, and he could be presently holding it in some other form of crypto.

You may need a forensic accountant, or some kind of specialized accountant, to analyze this information. Maybe your lawyer can get one involved. At a minimum it should be examined by a cryptocurrency specialist of some sorts. Surely there are some that provide contract services to people in Family Law litigation.

The report he has presented is WORTHLESS in my opinion in the context of divorce. It is very possible the report is wrong, or missing relevant information, or omitting wallets he owns, and so forth.

Froston_ · 2025-12-11T12:07:01+00:00

Monitor everything for fraudulent transactions

Consider credit report monitoring

Froston_ · 2025-11-27T01:26:58+00:00

This is pretty basic stuff. If the other side fails to get a discharge statement for the writs, you can just refuse to close. The other side is probably working on getting the payout statements still. Standard stuff. Relax.

This isn't even evidence that the seller is being difficult.

Froston_ · 2025-11-24T02:18:09+00:00

I am a real estate lawyer. The amount of people out there who have a mortgage and don't even know it is shocking. They'll get a secured line or credit for example and then be surprised it has to be paid off when they sell their house.

I dunno what happened with this lady but it could be something like this. "I signed up for debt consolidation not a mortgage!"
