Lake Property and The Ex...

[thinkstoohard]

Hey all,

 

Quick question. I want to purchase some lake property to build a home on and really could use some advice. I have done a ton of research online but all the agents/brokers/realtors seem sketchy and untrustworthy. I don't really know anyone that specializes in this other than my ex's uncle. He is very educated on multiple lakes and I know would be able to give some great advice. Would it be inappropriate for me to e-mail him just to ask for some quick input/advice on the three lakes I have narrowed it down to? Keep in mind we have been broken up 8 months, LC for the first 5, NC for the last 3. She broke up with me and I wanted to get back with here very much. Probably still would entertain it if given the opportunity... Anyways, back to the question. Appropriate or inappropriate?

 

Thanks!!

It's fine, IMHO... as long as your uncle doesn't harbor any bad feelings towards you, I don't see a problem.

Was the break-up amicable?

 

A decade ago, I broke up with my first boyfriend, whose father was my regular car mechanic. Ten months after the breakup, I thought I could get into contact with the ex's father to ask him a question about my car.

 

I ended up being screamed at by my ex--It was a horrible moment.

 

Our break-up was painful, but I hadn't known that he still harboured angry feelings toward me because of it.

 

As long as you feel comfortable with contacting the uncle, I think that it would be fine. it's all about what you feel in your gut and your heart.
