The fact he won't speak to his wife about the financial issues they are in, you absolutely don't loan him any money!

Just got off the phone with a first cousin who works in tech sales. He does well, but also owns several airbnbs and has fallen behind on mortgages. His parents are wealthy but he’s got too much pride to ask them. He needs to “shift some money around”. Should I lend him the $50k?

ETA: he said he’s $50k in the hole but would take whatever he could get.


Sounds like you should take some STRs off his hands

Get $100k in quickly liquidatable assets as legally binding collateral.

How could anyone answer without knowing you and your own fiscal situation?

He's probably gone to his parents and siblings. He's either maxed out with all of them, burned them all or both.

You can't trust this person with money.

Unless he has a shite ton of equity(collateral), tell him to cut his losses.

It's never lending when you give it to family. I learned that one the hard way.

If he is only 50 grand in debt with investment rentals, he can take out a loan against his properties, or get a personal loan.

This smells like he is much more under water than he tells you, and the $50K is needed just to stay afloat. He may really need a six figure loan.

I helped out my brother in law by building him a shed for his business. It cost me $30K. He wanted to go on a payment plan and I said no. I said "If you are doing well in 10 years and decide to do something for me in return then that is good enough for me, but I will NEVER expect re-payment."

Sounds like he has gambling or drug problems. Something doesn’t smell right about this scenario.

Offer to buy one of the properties from him for 50k with a resale date back to him for an agreed upon price.

Then he has X amount of time to come up with the 50k or financing to buy his property back.

He’s fricked on that end. Upside down
How’s he upside down? Home prices are still high as hell and mortgages on investment properties usually require at least 20% down.

Sounds like if you loan him $50k that you may as well forget about ever seeing that money again. Tell him go ask his parents for money or try to talk to his mortgage lenders about possibly doing a short sale to offload the properties he can’t afford
