I actually said that the only part of the contract I signed with Wyndham that I read was the part that said i would become platinum VIP for $6000 Thats the only part I cared about. And as far as the rental properties I bought prior to my first Wyndham purchase, Not only didnt I read the small print, much of the time I didnt even go into the house. I remember, at one auction I attended the tenant was at an open window. I asked her... you got heat?, Your rent up to date? She said yes.. That was enough for me, I bid on the property.
And one settlement where the seller was so pissed at me for demanding that he put some money in escrow to cover the next water bill, (that wasnt in any contract we had) that he came after me physically. He actually stood up and put his knee on the table to come across, to do what? I dont know. I told him to sit his little 5'6" self back down. I dont need to buy this stuff and I started to walk out (Im 6'1" 220) and although Ive never been in a fight (the physical kind) I looked bad, and I guess mean .. At another property there had been a fire at the property the night before settlement, I asked that we delay settlement for a few hours to inspect the property. and the seller started to cry. Turned out they were losing money on the property already and to cut the price any further... well it made her cry. When I told her that I might not buy it all, depending on what the damage was. She started to sob. I had no idea what the contract said on the matter
Back to my feelings about contracts generally,,,, they are only as strong as the parties willingness to enforce them. I made the bet that Wyndham wouldnt enforce the commercial use clause in the directory and they didnt for the 5 years i was involved, until they did, But even then they came after me sideways, not directly They accused me of somehow stealing points. Once I made it clear that everything was for sale, they backed off and bought me out, I guess they didnt care what the contract said either.
