Yep - control is the whole issue! Good call Danna! I know for certain that is my SOS (sack of sh*t) problem.
I have been telling my mother for years what a SOS he is..... She finally figured it out. My mom inherited my brothers house when he died. No mortgage involved. She already owned the homestead free and clear. She took her 401K and bought a house in MD, she moved back where she grew up to be nearer he family. SOS wanted to borrow some money, she told him she didn't have money laying around. She doesn't it is all tied up in her real estate. He goofed when he told her he knew she was lying he knew dam good and well she was rolling in money!
When she told me that, I said I don't want to say I told you so...... She said never mind I see his true colors now......
