As late as December 3rd 2013 George sat down with John to offer a fresh approach that would relieve John from the pressures he had been struggling with. Some details were available but several people were working on the plan so not all was known at the time of the meeting. What George was able to tell John was that he no longer need bear the financial responsibility for Freedom Ranch. That obligation would be redirected to others, primarily George and his family through a couple of their companies. Part of that plan did require the tenants on the ranch to pay whatever the corporation decided was fair as the way rent had being collected up to that point was unfair to all that lived on the ranch and in fact was a big part of the reason the ranch was in trouble in the first place. At least two tenants had never paid rent according to John. It was two days later that George received the message from John discounting the plan without even seeing it. We knew enough about the plan at the time of the meeting to assure John the ranch payments could be made and it was also written in the letter George gave to John at the close of that first meeting. The only reason given by John to reject the plan off hand appears to have been the statement “that he may need to move out of the ranch house for a period of time.” That would only happen if the board members voted it necessary of which John held half the votes. He had agreed at the beginning of the meeting that the top priorities were Alpha Ministry and some security for families living on the property and that we should do “whatever necessary” to keep to that goal. We had two tenants ready to move to the ranch, one which was willing to pay at least $1,200 rent for the ranch house. John claims he had been paying $1,000 per month towards the bank note for living in the house so worse case he would only need to kick in an extra $200 to stay in the house. How do you rationalize letting a property go back to the bank as John wishes with 8 families living there and the payment is only $4,079.00 per month?
