fraud: I know there is fraud here somewhere, but why? - 10/18/09 04:55 PM

I know there is fraud here somewhere, but why? I was talking to one of my investors the other day and he said he was talking to an investor buddy of his that is going to try something that he heard about on a radio show, but my question is and was… WHY?
You see, the idea was that these investors where doing 1031 exchanges on properties and what they would do is show on the HUDs that they were buying properties for say $200,000 but in reality they were paying $250,000 in cash and the last $50,000 was under the table.
Now, I … (14 comments)

fraud: Putting our experiences together to make the banking experience better for all - 12/05/08 04:46 PM
Over the past couple weeks since writing a post called, "The foreclosure that never had to happen", I've been trying to figure out how we can get our stories together and send them on to congress, so they can see the real story of what is going on with the banks.

fraud: For Sale by Owner (Who the hell are you?) - 07/01/08 03:30 AM

But, this FSBO wasn't that at all. This FSBO was ignorant, abusive, and darn right rude toward me as an agent. In my career, I've only had one other situation like this. But, this time was different, he wanted me to go away and wanted me to go away fast!
Something wasn't quite right here and I … (23 comments)

fraud: Don’t get held hostage on your home repairs - 06/19/08 05:28 AM
This is a warning to anyone hiring someone to do work on their house. I had a client of mine hire a "NON-LICENCED" contractor to do some work on their home about six months ago.
What happened is this "contractor" required $500 down before they started the work and the remaining was due within one week of starting the project. Well, it has now been six months and I bet you already know what happened the day they got their money. They didn't come back and finish the work and now my clients have a half done bathroom and kitchen.
Six months later … (5 comments)
