Again, this is a family that lost three homes in my neighborhood. Down on their luck? Not really, if they had not speculated, they would've been fine in the homes they are living in now, which are not in foreclosure. This was done by a husband and wife, and their son. Their son held property in his own name, and according to his LinkedIn account, he works in San Francisco in financial services industry! Further, A google search of his name reveals that he bought 3 condos in Las Vegas at roughly the same time, all with 100% financing. Those three are long gone, having been sold as bank-owned properties.
Would you trust this guy with your money?
This was easy to string together, as the father and son have the same name (i.e. William Sr. and William Jr.)
What makes it unusually, and a little off topic of licensees who bought in my neighborhood, is the fact that none are licensees... However, the agent who is handling the attempted short sales, and eventual ahort sales of those that sold is related to these people, and making a fortune off their lousy speculations!

Loan: $427,000 (70% Loan-to-Value)

6)
Acquired 06/07/2007
No loan; it looks like it was passed on to these two through a living trust.
Currently listed as a Pending sale on the MLS for $437,000.
It appears to be rented, but the monthly rental income is unknown. There is no loan on it, and it appears the wife inherited it from her mother, so why aren't they using this income to pay off the loans on the other houses?
As I said, the relative, who is an agent, is making a small fortune selling the homes as short sales...
