Court Finds JP Morgan Chase Intentionally and Knowingly Committed Fraud

This may be one of the most important posts I have ever published. We have reached a point in the housing crisis where we must decide:  Continue to cower before and believe whatever the bank’s attorneys claim OR ask for proof of their claims? Quite simply, why won’t you let the dog sniff your locker? [...]

Bank of America’s mistake cost man his house!

Bank of America “accidentally” foreclosed on someone again!    It has been a couple of months since they last did this so give them a break. Thanks to 4closureFraud.org for the awesome graphic! This poor guy bought a house, in CASH, which used to have a Bank of America mortgage and obviously that was good enough [...]

JPMorgan CHASE is in the foreclosure business, not the modification business

It’s simple, follow the money.   Everyone understands the purpose of a compensation plan.  Develop a plan that uses money to motivate a certain behavior. For the past several years we’ve been saying that the banks/servicers WANT to foreclose properties.   It is the fastest way for them to generate fee income as well as convert [...]

You are not in default. Freddie Mac is making your payments!

Yes it is true.  I have seen it with my own eyes and IN WRITING.  In our office we have on record a statement from Freddie Mac, which they submitted to the courts, that “Freddie Mac has made all relevant and required payments to the investors on behalf of the borrowers.” Did you catch that?!?! Yes, Freddie Mac acting as the [...]

Fannie Mae requiring borrower to be more credit worthy. Say it isn’t so!

Citing the need to protect borrowers from mortgage payments that potentially balloon out of control, Fannie Mae is putting forward new standards for the purchase and securitization of adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) products. Why stop now?  You have unlimited U.S. taxpayer money.   Everyone NEEDS to have a home.  More loans, more loans, more loans.  A mortgage [...]

No Trust in the Trustee – Rigging foreclosure auctions for profit

“There is no trust in this business” said the foreclosure trustee.  Scary huh?  This isn’t some fictional story.  This is real life in Harris County, Houston, Texas. Recently, members of our team confronted the Trustee that was about to auction off the homestead of one of our clients.  In our hand was the Temporary Restraining [...]

IndyMac is a shady operation – HAMP, we don’t need no stinking HAMP

IndyMac is a shady operation.  One of our staff used to be on the inside working against homeowners but (in my words…turned his life around) and now battles for home owners. He tells tales of “being trained” on programs like HAMP and seeing blacked out sections.   When he asked why IndyMac (now OneWest) redacted [...]

Obama is handing out $3,000 to short sellers

Our U.S. Treasury stands ready to hand out checks to homeowners to help them with short selling their home!    Ok, not exactly but the Obama Administration is pledging to chip in to help homeowners who are underwater and need to sell their home. Bank of America, clearly our Nation’s leading “uplifting promise to do something press [...]

Lenders fear or can’t buy back loans from FREDDIE MAC

If you are dealing with a short sale situation involving Freddie Mac (and I suspect Fannie Mae as well) and it is dragging on forever then heads up…it might be in this buy back loop. Until Freddie decides what if anything is going to happen to a loan in default it might take some real firepower to [...]

Fannie Mae not complying with Tenant Protections?

As a REALTOR it is important to understand the protections available for renters for whom you have helped locate a home but are facing being “kicked out” due to a foreclosure as the landlord not paying his mortgage. Hats off to Robert Dogget for uncovering Fannie’s moves… The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was established to stabilize communities that [...]
