Hello,

Does anyone receive a list of homes that are at risk of going into foreclosure in the State of Washington (Seattle Metro) to be specific? I have a client that would be interested in saving someone from foreclosures by bringing them current and assuming their loan in which they would like to refinance into their own name after a period of time.

Id be willing to work something out with anyone who can help.

Thank You,
JC Gutierrez

Ask for Erv. He is a foreclosure rescue artist. Most of the rest of us believe these are scams.

I dont know much about foreclosures except that there is an opportunity there...hence the board, hence the question, hence the whole concept of this website. But like any blog type website there will always be idiots so I wouldnt expect any less here. I just got to identify the idiots and thank you for identifying yourself Stayinhomegal

As far as I remember "strawbuying activities" are highly unlawful. Real Estate 101.

If your "opportunities" consist of criminal activity, maybe you should not be surprised at a strong reaction. Since your offer is self incriminading, maybe you should remove it.

How do you even know what my offer is...cmon now Im asking for help regarding if anyone knows anything about Foreclosures in the state of Washington. Dont try to link me to some BS.

Obviously someone posted some other scam stuff about Foreclosures but WTF does that have to do with me? My friend/client asked me about this in the state of Washington if you can help me find out more then please respond or email but if you got a stupid comment then go somewhere else with that noise.

I appreciate that mantixmortgage, a genuine answer to a genuine question.

I dont know why people rush to assumptions, must be a human thing.

I didnt realize how sensitive people are to the word Foreclosure. I mean I just started to study up on how it can be a strategic way to invest. And if people are willing to buy homes in preforeclosure then obviously as a LO we can help them get financed.

However, I have never taken on a deal like this, hence the reason I made the post in the first place to get some feedback from anyone who has, or anyone in the state of Washington who knows how to find Foreclosures or preforeclosures.

Nobody here is going to help you with a foreclosure scam pal. You came to the wrong place. Now take my original advice.

It's even funnier because you don't even know where to begin...

What scam you idiot!!

I had to go to google to figure out what the hell a strawbuy is. I found this article http://www.local6.com/problemsolvers/11129637/detail.html

How you even linked my post to this is beyond me. You must be a real negative person or one that is around a ton of scams.

I hate idiots that rush to judgement without seeking clarification.

the thing with these foreclosure bailouts, is that often times it involves equity stripping and changes of title, and just a bunch of stuff that is either fraudulent or lies somewhere in the gray area of what should and shouldnt be done in real estate.

And another thing....I never realized Foreclosure is a "bad" word. WTF man? Plenty of people know that the Foreclosure market is an investment strategy and OBVIOUSLY people need to be approved for such lending and DUH thats what this site is about...I personally have never worked with any deal in regards to the Foreclosure market and wanted to know more about it.

You must be one of those "Ron Paulers" who just makes posts to fill space instead of sticking to the whole premise of this site. I cant stand Idiots!

That is almost a text book foreclosure scam if we are to understand the Original Post correctly.

To clarify: Your investor does not want to purchase the property. They want to assume the mortgage. Help the homeowner get current and then help the home owner refinance back into the property. Correct?

You're the guy who can't even figure out where to begin and I'm the idiot?

LOL

The thing is this: I have talked to multiple seniors who fell for this scam, somebody told them they would save them from foreclosure and eventually they would be able to buy ther house back. Problem is that it never happens and in the end these folks are forced to leave with nothing. You want to act like you are oblivious to this idea...well ignorance is bliss.

But you show up on this forum and not even 20 posts in you start looking for ways to scheme and profit off of these people who are hurting and I'll call you out pal.

Now GTFO.

Once again I appreciate your genuine response to the question. I can understand that perhaps some idiots out there would commit some sort of fradulent activities with anything not just foreclosures. But there is a LEGAL and ethical way to tackle that market. Not everything goes to Auction and plenty of people purchase homes preforeclosure in a LEGAL and ETHICAl way. Im just wondering if anyone knows how I can go about educating myself to tackle this niche. Or does no one here touch it?

Thanks for the link but this is not what I was asking.

My client asked me about some ads he saw where some people are at risk of going into foreclosure and merely want to get out of there property rather than destroy their credit with a foreclosure. They are looking for someone to assume their loan. He asked me how he could go about doing so.

Perhaps my post needed clarification or wasnt specific enough. There is nothing wrong with helping someone whom is going to lose their home anyway. Im sure there are a Ton of idiots out there that are committing Fraud and taking advantage of this situation.

However, I know for a fact that there is a Legal and Ethical way of doing this and was merely seeking guidance from anyone whom has invested in the Foreclosure market.

NOt all of these homes have to go to Auction.

Perhaps pulling regs, guidelines and real estate law before asking an on-line forum? Not blasting you in the least, just a thought...

What Scam you idiot? And who sad jack crap about Seniors? I never even asked about your scenario. Just cuz your negative self has had a bad experience you want to try and punk me? You got the wrong person moron.

Oh and your Mr. Bad A** cuz you have 252 posts....WOW! Your an experienced blogger...You probably got most of your posts by typing the type of BS you have posted in this thread.

The FOreclosure market is NOT a scheme...its a reality. I dont like people taking advantage of others either, but there is a Ethical and Legal way to go about it. Of course you wouldnt understand cuz your a negative person.

NOw you GTFO Idiot!

Well perhaps I presented it incorrectly and Im man enough to admit if I made an error but I still dont see anything in my original message that could get lead to StayInHomeGuy to assume all the BS he did and to attack me the way he has.

I genuinely have no clue about Foreclosures except that there is an Investment stratgey involved with them. I know that people have listings for homes that are in Foreclosure or Preforeclosure and I have heard there is an opportunity with them. Im merely seeking some guidance and I appreciate you reaching out.

Thats what this whole website is about right? Thanks for the links...I'll check those out!

The problem is, as we all here have seen firsthand, is that the "Investment Strategy" IS to rip people off. No matter how you twist it, the 'investor' is getting his pound of flesh for his 'good deed'.

It's called 'kicking the dog when he's down'. Sorry. I have never seen a benificent act of kindness on the part of the investors.

This guy sounds like he might not know much about this part of the industry - it is possible he had good motives for posting this but may have been drawn into something he didn't understand.

I've gotten calls from investors that wanted me to do appraisal work for them. Initially everything sounded legal and reasonable but when I started asking questions it became clear that they were looking for someone to help them scam somebody.

At least this guy has his name and a website in his profile. It looks like he's not hiding. Listen to these guys Professor. They know what they're talking about.

I have nothing to hide. I just dont appreciate how StayInHomeGuy just right away attacked me without seeking clarification.

I also had some people call me at my cell phone number which I listed on this post giving me support as they were apalled at how he attacked me and the negative tone of this email.

I appreciate those who called and or emailed me telling me about the LEGAL and ETHICAL ways to make a profit in the Foreclosure market.

Professor,

I'm not going to jump all over you and assume you're trying to screw people that are already in a tough situation here in WA.

If you're just trying to get info and learn about foreclosures, and legitimately looking to help people, that's great. Make sure you do a a good amount of research before you operate here in WA. Laws here are very strict right now. And more importantly, if you are approaching people and trying to help them, you owe it to them to have a solid knowledge of the subject matter.

Here's a few highlights for you.

Firstly, Equity Stripping is a felony in WA.( and probably a lot of other places ) Minimum sentence is 1 year, max is 5 years, per violation. So going onto title with the owners and refinancing is risky business, and is ill advised unless you're a relative or someone who has a true interest in helping the homeowner.

Secondly, the foreclosure laws were totally rewritten on 06/12 of this year. If you violate these new laws, fines go up to $100,000 now ($10,000 previously)

Also, if you are planning to buy the foreclosed home and sell it back to the previous owner who was facing foreclosure (which is totally legal here) you will be required to pay a price of at least 82% of the fair market value of the home to the sellers. This in an of itself is enough to discourage most people who use this particular foreclosure strategy because the upside potential is limited.

There are many other changes as well, so you should do your research up front.

If you want to find lists of foreclosures, there are plenty of sources online. Simply googling "foreclosure WA" should pull up a huge list of vendors that can get you data. Foreclosure Point, which is located here in WA, offers national foreclosure data and tracking.

Interested to know why you are chooosing WA for foreclosures. I would think there are a ton in your own back yard.

Because of the changes in the law in Washington most real estate agents won't touch a property that is now in foreclosure or possibly going into foreclosure. The penalties are severe.

A friend of mine lives in Seattle and he asked me about it. I told him I would look into it for him. He found some people whom are looking for someone to assume their loan as they can no longer afford it. He was wondering how to go about doing it and knew I was in the industry. I have never invested in or worked on a Foreclosure deal so I figured Id make the posting here for some guidance as I have done with some of my other deals.

I truly appreciate your posting as it is EXACTLY the type of answer I am looking for.

Id be willing to work something out with anyone who can help.

In this market the seller would get PAID if they found someone to offer those terms in this market.

Sorry for "attacking" you.

I have been in this business long enough to spot a bull****ter a mile away, and based on your OP that's exactly what I sensed.

you last line was "I'd be willing to work something out with anyone who can help."

aka: I'll cut you a piece if I find some meat.

If you truly meant well then I apologize to you and all of those here who were "apalled" by my reaction, but you obviously don't have the understanding or knowledge base to get invovled with this type business, leave it to the folks who know what they are doing. Washington is not the state you want to make a mistake in.

I've gotten calls from investors that wanted me to do appraisal work for them. Initially everything sounded legal and reasonable but when I started asking questions it became clear that they were looking for someone to help them scam somebody.

At least this guy has his name and a website in his profile. It looks like he's not hiding. Listen to these guys Professor. They know what they're talking about.



I have nothing to hide. I just dont appreciate how StayInHomeGuy just right away attacked me without seeking clarification.

I also had some people call me at my cell phone number which I listed on this post giving me support as they were apalled at how he attacked me and the negative tone of this email.

I appreciate those who called and or emailed me telling me about the LEGAL and ETHICAL ways to make a profit in the Foreclosure market. I can understand why some people would have bad thoughts about this market and how some people would scam others but that is not what I was asking and I really didnt appreciate the rush to judgement of StayinHomeGuy nor how he tried to paint a false image of me without seeking clarification. After all I have nothing to hide, my website, phone number, and name are in the posting.

Hopefully we can remember that the premise of this site is to help one another with guidance regarding the industry. Not to attack one another.

Thank You & God Bless,



Sorry for "attacking" you.

I have been in this business long enough to spot a bull****ter a mile away, and based on your OP that's exactly what I sensed.

you last line was "I'd be willing to work something out with anyone who can help."

aka: I'll cut you a piece if I find some meat.

If you truly meant well then I apologize to you and all of those here who were "apalled" by my reaction, but you obviously don't have the understanding or knowledge base to get invovled with this type business, leave it to the folks who know what they are doing. Washington is not the state you want to make a mistake in.





I accept your apology. And I did mess up in the way that I originally posted it.

I admit I dont know what I am doing when it comes to Foreclosures but we all have a starting point and that doesnt mean I cant become an expert.

Im glad that this turned into an informative posting.

and jail time.


All I'm saying is that you are admitting to knowing nothing about the subject, and you couldn't have picked a worse time to try and "become an expert"... my advice would be to leave it alone.

plus your story has changed, at first you were looking to find a list of properties for a "client" and willing to work something out with anybody who could help you find such a list,.... and now all of the sudden you aren't looking for any list, just trying to figure out how the process works because a "friend" found somebody here who needs help. It doesn't add up to me and quite frankly I still think my gut feeling was right, but I'll leave it alone for now.

My story never changed. I was looking for a list of properties as a broker in Arizona told me that he got listings of homes that were in danger of going into foreclosure or were already there (cant remember). But my client, whom is also my friend in Washington is the one who asked me about the process and he did find some people through some ad that were looking for him to assume the loan.

I was assuming that if he had a person who was at risk of going into foreclosure and merely wanted to someone to assume the loan that he could do so and then later refinance the deal in his name. That doesnt sound illegal to me but obviously I dont know all of the laws and I found a lot of information from this posting in which I can atleast have a general understanding of the entire process.

I didnt know the whole process hence the reason for my post. I obviously did not include enough information which I guess opened up things in your mind that I was trying to work a scam or something. I can understand that but your gut feeling was wrong.

I am in this business because I love helping people get into homes, build wealth, or purchase businesses. I have expertise in certain areas, Foreclosures is obviously not one of them. Again I appreciate all of the information provided in this posting.
