I personally dealt with Paul and he had no idea what he was talking about. Telling me the FDIC will call me once funds are verified and I have to be in the room by myself. If anyone else would be in the room the FDIC would hang up immediately and I would no longer be eligible to buy the property. I also spoke with their lawyer who is based out of Florida and supposedly represents these large non-for-profits who control these FDIC deals out of his house.
This has scam written all over it. Whether their commission is 3%, 1%, or half of a percent, it still makes absolutely no sense. I have the paper work where they actually ask you to go to the bank and have the bank write the their letterhead the following.
