For acquaintances, the whole thing has already been going on for 6 months... but in the meantime, they don't even want to build anymore... they have since separated..
What are they doing with the loan now?
People are really strange individuals; I also had a case in a distant family-acquaintance circle. Both wanted to build a retirement home. So they sold their semi-detached house, took out a new loan, and built a bungalow. Meanwhile, the man was cheating because he was bored.
And honestly, I wouldn't have even started such a project as a man out of self-protection, knowing that everything could blow up in my personal life if it came out.
