Family drama

My brother made an offer to our aunt, uncle and their daughter (my cousin) to purchase their home, which they purchased in the 70’s for $50,000. And that’s how much he offered to buy their home. The property value is over a million, but he tried to make it sound as if he will be doing them a favour by renovating the home after he buys it from them. In return, he would charge them rent to get his money back. The house is supposed to be my cousin’s inheritance and she’s too afraid to say no to him so she asked me for advice. My advice: he can take a hike for making such a ridiculous, shameful offer. I’ve been furious for months because I didn’t know he was that selfish. Now he won’t speak to me. I will never let anyone take advantage of my family, even my own brother.

So, let me get this straight, your brother wants to buy your Aunt/Uncle/Cousins home for the same price they paid for it 50ish years ago, and for the same price. Why in God's name is your cousin & nor running to the nearest realtor to get the proper value for the property? Is everyone THAT terrified of your jerk and thief of a brother? He wants to BUY their house and ALSO make them pay him rent?? Does he have drug, gambling, alcohol, or other addiction issues? You MUST know that the MINUTE the house is in his name he'll give your Aunt, Uncle & cousin their walking papers in the form of an eviction letter - this jackass has one thing on his mind - getting rich off his relatives. You need to hire a reputable Real Estate Agent IMMEDIATELY, I know (personally) one of the most honest, straight-up ones in all the Lower Mainland - and she CANNOT be bullied or B.S.'d by your brother. The thought of this selfish jerk treating his flesh & blood like his own personal ATM machine for about 20 times the value of the home, in his favour, is reprehensible. Email me (if this is allowed) at Canadazbest@gmail.com for the realtors' info - she'll handle EVERYTHING from start to finish and you won't even have to engage with your brother. PLEASE, do NOT allow yourselves to be manipulated out of the roof over your heads. Your brother could not care LESS what becomes of any of you. You are in my heart and prayers.

very manipulative of your brother. Reminds me of the second mortgage nightmare in the States. Good on you for shutting it down.

That's actually frightening.

The brother sounds like a criminal. They pay him rent back after they've been taken advantage of and robbed? WTF. It's very good that your sibling fucked off, and that you want to defend the family. If your aunt is afraid to say no to him, they are vulnerable.

Now that you know how corrupt and exploitative he can be, you should warn your cousin to never trust this man with anything again. Sorry that your brother has turned out to be a scumbag.
