This man is a crook in all areas. He is a bully and foul mouth. He has no respect for employees, clients or himself. A man of God? SURE!!!  Knowing and Using that curse word with God in it, makes you far from a Christian.


He refuses to pay subs, knowing these people depend on the money to feed their kids, pay their rent and survive. I know this first hand, I am one of those people.


He sells people homes that makes the 3 Little Pigs straw, wooden and brick house look like custom built homes and we all know the end of that story, right?


Please do not trust this man!! He uses the Bible to lure you in and then he turns into to the devil.

COMPLAINT HAS NO MERIT

AUTHOR: Goldmine Properties, Inc. - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, April 29, 2014

Interesting this person decided to harm me because he wanted to purchase two homes from the company and did not want to wire earnest money. He never lost a dime just a opportunity to make $25,000 profit on each of these two properties.

 EARNEST MONEY IS USED TO PROTECT THE SELLER IF BUYER ELECTS TO DEFAULT ON AGREEMENT. Paragraph 9 in P & S Agreement-Should buyer elect not to fulfill buyers obligations under this agreement all earnest monies will be retained by the seller as liquidated damages.

Other investors put my properties under contract and try to flip to another investor. If they are unsuccessful they try to get their earnest money back the day of the closing.

Sorry to see lies about my reputation on this site. I have wholesales 1500 homes the past 18 years and would not be in business unless investors made money off me.

QUALITY HOMES THAT SELL ABOVE LIST PRICE

AUTHOR: Goldmine Properties, Inc. - ()

POSTED: Thursday, April 24, 2014

 

Dear Fellow Investors,
 
It really troubles me when a arrogant experienced investor did a Micky Mouse renovation and could not sell his property and turns around and bashes me on ripoff report.com on April 9th.
 
If you are a new investor or even a experienced investor there are aspects of this business you should be aware of to succeed. Let me reiterate the complaint that was posted on ripoff report. "Goldmine Properties is a liar, does not tell the truth, makes up fake numbers and inflates returns.
 
First I have attached a list of my renovations within the past year which have all sold for appraisal price or higher, a hedge fund purchased two properties so I gave a small discount for the quick cash closing, average D.O.M. is less than 10 days and you can go to www.Zillow.com to verify information and view renovations.
 
#1 reason renovated homes do not sell for appraisal price-Poor Renovation! Yes it is that simple and if you are a new investor and want to learn how to renovate homes just go to Zillow.com and view photos of listings or solds in the area of your property and match the quality of renovation. Hey it is not rocket science. Sure I agree that renovating a home is stressful, it can take longer than anticipated, you can run into unknown repairs and have cost over runs. Don't cry about it, toughen up, learn from it and move on. SO WHAT! Get it done and go milk another cow. And for the record after 18 years renovating homes I still get punched in the gut about twice a year on a project that just went south. But I also hit several home runs along the way.
 
There are hundreds of wholesalers in Atlanta. Please match my repair estimates and after repair values up to them. How many other wholesalers will advertise a $35,000 renovation? More like they will call repairs at $25,000. In any event, I don't claim to always be spot on but I do take great pride in my character, integrity, and a invested interest in my investors and am there to help you at a drop of a dime.
 
Not to pound my chest but shoot I have wholesaled nearly 2,000 homes in the past 18 years and my regular investors have purchased the majority of these wholesale deals. 75% of my sales are funded with private money. Private money lenders verify after repair values and repair estimates-none of my investors have ever been turned down by a private money lender! Now that speaks volume.
 
Thank you for listening to me vent. The market is so hot I hope you all have a rehab in process...

Subs get paid

AUTHOR: Goldmine Properties, Inc. - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, April 15, 2014

 If there is one thing we do is pay our contractors fairly. We have been in business for 18 years and still have the same contractors on staff. Of course owner and a new contractor will have disagreements and can be resolved with good lines of communication. Going to ripoff report to harm someone unjustly is not the way to solve issues.

There is no motive to treat anyone not as we would like to be treated.

#1 Consumer Comment

The Bully and former stripper Mike Cherwenka / Goldmine Properties /goldmineproperties.net

AUTHOR: NationwideInvestor1979 - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, July 06, 2012

I was thankful to find fellow consumers voicing their stories of how they were either screwed or almost potentially screwed by the likes of Mr Mike Cherwenka.

Heres my story:

Mike Cherwenka, the former stripper, *now supposedly saved christian man who attempts to trick investors out of there money, via there earnest funds.

Normally when sending earnest funds I forward them to a legitimate title company or the wholesalors attorney to be held in escrow until closing(never to the wholesaler directly.) But Mr Cherwenka was very insistent that I *Wire him the $5000 earnest funds directly to him and *asap!, there were a few red flags and yes I was skeptical but was also very interested in the properties he was offering, so I  pushed aside my skepticism and prepared to send him the earnest funds. But after sleeping on it decided it didnt make good business sense to send him the earnest funds directly when he could easily have his attorney or his title company receive the funds. 

He than preceded to threaten me with sending out a mass email to his investor list,advising them to avoid doing business with me, and that *if i did not wire the funds..(to use his words? "Ill have you black listed.")
Well needless to say that after 2 emails containing these types of threats, I decided to no longer communicate with him directly but through his attorney. I advised his attorney that I no longer felt comfortable with Mr Cherwanka or his deals, and that I would not be wiring him any cash directly.

For all I know he made good on his word and sent out an email blast, but at this point I could careless, Once I found all the complaints on line with a simple search from google, I was just thankful I saved myself from losing a potential $5000.

To all of you looking for wholesale deals... Not only should you avoid Mr Mike Cherwenka like the plague, But also avoid any individual requiring you to wire funds directly to there personal account in order to consummate any sort of business deals.

Sincerely
Andy
Nationwide Property Investor
