What was the opportunity?
He said that he had a house that needed to be flipped, but he couldn't afford the renovations.  He would split the money with me when it sold if I would fund the renovation.  It was supposed to be $200,000 to split, but guess what?  He left town and I have no idea where he is.
Did you put money on the reno?
Yup, I gave him $100,000 up front.
Haha, that wasn't very wise.
