re: "you gave your FREE knowlegable advice,down the road this guy going to PAY YOU or someone else for not taking your advice."

This happens to me all the time.... usually when they find out that they screwed up, they are too embarrassed to come back to me for a fix... they pay someone else. I think, like JAWZ, that if I take the time and trouble to give someone expert advice that they should listen... or at least consider it seriously, not just ignore it.

I have a situation right now with my wife's ex brother in law on a home purchase in Vegas where I said.. "do A, B and C and what ever you do don't do D and E". He ignored 4 out of 5 and has gotten bit on 3 of the 4 and is whining to me to help him fix it.
