Let's give our opponent every aspect of power. He's knowledgeable, motivated, can prove everything he says, is energetic, resourceful, creative, courageous and ethical. What can we do? The opposite.

And he'd offer the lot owner a 2nd mortgage at low interest rates and low payments in return for the lot.

On the other hand, this scenario can be a borrower's worst nightmare. Indiscriminate use of credit has brought even the biggest real estate moguls low. Between them, Bill Zeckendorf, Donald Trump, and Bill Levitt lost $billions because of debt. Using credit can become a habit that's very hard to kick.
