Talk about msessing with consumers. You pick a lender, he runs your credit, then your fuzzy credit bureau sells you to the Trigger List. You get bombarded with 1% interest rate phony balony pseudo loan officers who can’t make a living as an independent or bank professional. They become phone sales con men I call them. The can’t cut it in the professional loan world, so they follow up leads. This needs to be flushed and I predict it will be. As if the credit bureaus weren’t making enough oney. Heck Experien paid over $400,000,000 for a lead generator LowerMyBills.com. Enough of this. We need our buddy Zorro here. Lar

I just received this email from the giant and future super giant of the blogoshpere, Sellsius Blog..
They are on their move. I think Sellsius is code for "we will make you selltous".

I will really get worried if they change their name to SellsiusOrElse.

Can I make you move? I offer you $100.00 for your most excellent blog. I am
sure it is worth millions with you writing it but not worth nearly as much
if I take it over.  
Just send me the blog and I'll send $100 to your pay pal account.

I have so many friends from Mexico, they must number near 100. Our old company employed a few spanish speaking loan officers and we brokered many of them mortgages. About 4 years ago INS started cracking down in our area, about the time we closed the company. They intercepted and stopped several loans in process.

I am interested in your feedback on this topic. What is your take on things today?

I am linking you to an agent who writes advice to these people who build our buildings, clean our homes, and serve us in so many ways. What a tough problem this is. Larry

Using someone else’s identity to get a home loan isn’t a good idea…click here

… because you’re bound to be caught. Think about it. If you buy a house with someone else’s credit history, that address becomes associated with that name. The person is likely to find out at some point, and then you’re a sitting duck, right? And also, if you couldn’t have gotten that loan on your own, how will you make the payments?

Sounds dumb, and yet people try it. There was a case last year of someone who got a loan, bought a house, and then the listing agent was questioned months later because the person whose credit had been used found out about it and called the authorities. The agent hadn’t ever realized that the buyer wasn’t who he said he was. After all, he had provided all the necessary documents to his lender, right?

Hopefully we scare the dishonest into honesty.

Mortgage fraud — the worst crime no one’s heard of

by Carol Lloyd

Recently, a developer regaled me with a story about a house that seemed to be cursed.

Although he beautifully renovated it and priced it below market, the Oakland bungalow just wouldn’t sell. Deals fell through repeatedly for bizarre and unrelated reasons: Buyers got cold feet or moved — one was even arrested.

By the time the fourth deal collapsed, the developer was in a state of financial panic. So, when one of the mortgage brokers who had helped a previous prospective buyer called with a new one who would close the deal for — get this — $100,00 over the asking price, he naturally jumped at the offer.

“The catch was that I had to give the $100K back to them after the close of escrow,” the guy told me, still looking shell-shocked. “I couldn’t understand why they would want to do that. The place was completely remodeled.”

(Most buyers who get cash back after escrow pour that money into repairs. Typically, though, lenders like to keep this amount to no more than 3 percent of the purchase price.)

The developer went through with the sale,
