JUAN SCHLEBACH JCS FUTURE INVESTMENT PROPERTIES LLC Falsely advertised a property on Ebay with no liens and clear title, Result $10000.00 in HOA liens to be paid at closing Rancho Cucamonga California

9/2017 I purchased a property via bank wire to Juan with JCS Investemtn properties on ebay. I asked several questions for several weeks prior to making my purchase. The property was listed No Liens and clear title. I purchased the property with the intent of keeping it as a rental. Post ownership I found out that the HOA bylaws were too strict and I would have to own property for a year before renting. The HOA fees are quite expensive, so I decided sell it right away to avoid more fees. I was able to visit location but I didn't have the recorded deed or proper ownership documents in my possession to bypass the security gte. .

In order to get the deed, JUAN with JCS required that I sign a general release form. I signed prior to receving the deed. Once the deed was finally recorded i wwas able to see the property. I was impressed and didn't think much about the general release until the first HOA told me there were some unresolved issues with past due HOA fees.  To my surprise the communtiy had two HOA's onew minor and major. The minor HOA explained there were liens filed with the county. I then made call to the county clerk. Another surprise the county clerk confirmed the liens existed. Meanwhile I contacted Juan demanding him to explain the county clerk information.

Juan proceeds to tell his side and sent me  copy of a "contest of lien"? He said there were no liens. He explained the HOA didn't not follow up with the contest and the liens should be extinguished in 60 days of filing. I then calle the county and then sent them a copy of the contest of lien. I heard nothing. I then contacted the first HOA and sent them a copy to forward to their new attorney. I then called the property manager to confirm the amount due for my months of ownership. He gave me a smaller figure and I was ok with that. Anything is better then what the county clerk quoted.

At this point I am frustrated because Juan down played the issue he had with the HOA and sent me the contest of lien after I purchased the property. He wasn't forthcoming or upfront in the beginning. I was ready to sell to get away from accruing more fees since I could not rent it out So I asked for HOA's approval to sell, they approved. My agent listed the property and was under contract in less than  a week. 

The title company received an estoppel letter from the major HOA saying the property was in arrears and $10,000.00 the money wuld be paid at closing. I then reached out to Juan again and he shut me down because I signed a general release form. The interesting part of this form is his general form had the wrong address. The attorney that sent the estoppel letter to my title company conveyed Juan attempted to sell before but the fees were too much. Instead of Juan being honest he decided to black market the property on Ebay and did not make a full disclosure and extent of the liens and fees that accrued. 

I had to pay the past due fees and Juan refused to recognize what he did wrong. Do not buy from this seller unless you pay via EBAY/paypal (no bank deposits or wire transfers), ask for title insurance and don't sign any release documents. Juan attempted to protect himself from any legalities by using the general release form against me.
