We have complete documentation to show that everything stated here is true and accurate. Make up your own mind who might have a reason to lie? (Both of the reports are false, and we have the documentation to prove it, feel free to contact us. Better yet, ask any of the parties who have made these false claims for THEIR Documentation regarding their lies and slander?)

We admit that we should have better screened this tenant, and their lack of credit, lack of character, and poor track record, and never have let them in the house. Everything was predictable, as that is what these people do. They lie, and do not pay their rent, and then lie about the landlord being at fault.

Having successfully completed over 150 closed transactions, and helped many people, it is unfortunate that it is best to be very careful who you do business with. My business involves dealing with people with bad credit, who do not pay their bills. They can not qualify for a loan, and they are high risk. When there is a problem, it is everyone's else's fault except their own. Often these people can not be trusted about what the facts or truth is, since they twist things to fit their own purposes. If you have ever had to evict one of these people, the stories they fabricate and even tell the judge are amazing.

As investors, we deal in distressed real estate, often involving foreclosures and short sales, which we are very experienced with. The owner of this property was referred to us on a Wednesday night, the house was scheduled for foreclosure the following Tuesday. There was no time left, Bank of America had misled the owner regarding their being willing to work with them, and there was only about one option. We got the house under contract that very same night, with the understanding (with the owners) that it would have to be a short sale, since there was no equity. I travelled to Beaumont to meet with the owners and a real estate attorney, who we had file a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) in order to stop the foreclosure sale, and buy us enough time to negotiate the short sale with Bank of America. The proposal to the court and judge, by the attorney was successful, the TRO was granted, and we spent quite a bit of money helping the owner to give them more time to move out of the house.

Once they had moved out, the house, while needing a lot of cleaning, and needing repairs, was still in livable condition. Since we had valid paperwork to show our having an interest in the property, we then entered into an agreement with the owners to rent the house, with a right to sublet. We did everything correctly, and the amount to be paid the owners was very low, due to the condition of the house, and the legal fees which had to be paid. We also had paid many of the expenses, so that they could move out of the house, since they did not have much money. We were more than generous in our assistance. Our agreement was that we could only pay them, if we had a tenant in the house paying us.

We were marketing the property for sale (with full disclosure of the short sale situation) or for rent on a month to month basis. (with full disclosure of the short sale situation) We always use attorneys and proper paperwork for everything we do. The party who wrote this report was brought to us by a real estate agent, since they could NOT qualify for a loan, and the house was in foreclosure, and they were desperate to get into the better Nederland school district for their children, we decided to be "NICE" and do what we could to work with them and help them? (Our first mistake) They entered into a HIGHLY DISCOUNTED Month to Month Rental Agreement, based upon the following: (The husband claimed to be an experienced Contractor, and could inspect the house, and make the repairs, in exchange for rent. We rented them the house for HALF of the normal market rent, and they were to make up the difference in repairs. Everything was in writing and fully disclosed. The problems began almost as soon as they moved in! There was a problem with the air conditioning, and even though they had claimed to have experience repairing houses, and had made an agreement to be responsible for the repairs, everything was now our fault already! WE took the $500 they paid us toward rent, and we used the money to fix the air conditioning. (our second mistake) With our showing kindness, which they took as weakness, they went into full attack, and refused to pay rent, stating that the house needed too much in repairs? (Excuse me?) Your husband, who claimed to be an experienced contractor, had inspected the house before you moved in, and you had agreed to take the house "as is" with reduced rent and agreement to make repairs in exchange for rent?

When they stopped paying us rent, we could no longer pay the former owners rent, and of course they were mad, and who knows what kind of lies these tenants, told the former owners about us? The same tenants who refuse to pay rent can be trusted? When you are dealing with these kind of people, everything is someone else's fault.

We really do not have time to argue with these kind of people, and one of my options was to evict them, however that would require additional time, and money on our part. We knew that the bank would foreclose and evict them, so we stopped all further efforts regarding the short sale, and told the bank to go ahead and foreclose. We knew that these tenants would live there for FREE for several more months, and we were done with them. (or at least we thought so?) we have consulted with several attorneys about their slander and lies which they have posted about us here, and all of them told us not to bother, since broke people who do not pay their rent, or their bills, are hard to collect from.
