Uses AI to run their financial and book keeping. This is a serious red flag and no reputable CPA or…read morebusiness suggests doing this, additionally they use AI to do deceptive marketing to create a fake persona to seem "more credible". Individual named Dave said that it was fine to negotiate the contract but whenever I did, Rachel, who did not know any information about the property I was looking at nor did she know any of the damage that was in the home, she couldn't specify what damage existed in the home. Just that it was "as is" and told me "to just trust her". Meanwhile I am FULLY aware that AI manufactures information and I don't feel comfortable doing a land contract through a company that uses AI considering that land contracts are already a high risk investment. Whenever I brought this up on asking for additional protections, Rachel took it as a personal attack and basically doubled down and made herself untrustworthy to me because she would not remove three words in the contract: "above buyer's interest". She would not confirm any timelines with any information that I had requested from her to include details about whether or not a default trigger would occur because she is doing a land contract on her property. Additionally once she had sent me the contract it had three different dates on it, several errors, the title group that she used was not a neutral party, and there were discrepancies such as not texting her within 24 hours being a default trigger for eviction, and they were concerns about additional fees that did not meet the Michigan required 11% interest, which is what I had asked about and I had stated that this was a common practice for predatory land contracts. Whenever I brought this up, she took it as a personal attack instead of just meeting in the middle, instead she took it as me being too interested in her financials whenever she can default in this loan. Zero transparency when it comes to what you're getting because the lady that I spoke to Rachel who I assume is the business owner and the owner of the homes, does not know anything about her business and just allows a third party to manage all of it despite the fact that she's the one who holds the lien which is important because if she's using AI to track whether or not I'm paying my bills I don't want that person to be doing business in my community. This is very scammy. And frankly she was telling me to be professional but unfortunately she had no professionalism when it came to our conversation and she did not care to give me details about the home that were factually accurate. She also spoke down to me as if I didn't understand what was happening or what the contract was, when I did. I asked her for more legal protections because of her usage of AI because it is unregulated and we know that it is not reliable in practical business settings, this has been proven by research. He took this as an attack on her character, which makes me more suspicious of her because she immediately brought up the character card and how we are supposed to trust her but she did not create that trust during our phone call nor did she create that trust in her emails.
