I know David Lereah thanks to his numerous quotes. I said I would not know Alan Gin if not for this board. I do not live in San Diego and do not read the San Diego area newspapers.
If an individual listened to David Lereah the individual has to check his head. Individuals have responsibility for their own finances and their own decisions. Unless someone is committing fraud or misrepresenting facts you are responsible if you are buying an overpriced property.
