Investors, Tenants, Potential Tenants, Contractors - BEWARE - this company and it's ownership should be avoided if you value your investments, good credit and personal or business security. Here are a few reasons, please feel free to do your own research - JUST BE SURE YOU DO - Lance Puig and York Street Properties, York Street Homes, York Street Investments and the numerous LLC's this organization operates under have caused 100's thousands of dollars of loss, 100's of wasted hours and countless heartaches for good people: 1) Debts and returns on investment are not honored in a timely fashion, if at all. 2) If you're tenant don't believe if you rent a home expecting to buy it that you ever will. It's a false promise - ask existing tenants. 3) If you're an investor; don't believe you are getting a safe, reliable, well maintained investment - ask past investors. 4) If you're a contractor; don't give this company or Lance Puig any credit - he does not pay. 5) Don't believe what you read on the website(s), in blogs or on radio shows. Icons are unauthorized, statements are false & exaggerated. 6) Don't believe mortgages (in your name) will be paid or debts for services will be paid - they won't be. Here's a few examples of fact: a) There are numerous lien filings, small claims filings and court filings against this company and Lance Puig. The subjects are wide ranging (non-payment, fraud, etc). He gets contractors to remodel houses, then doesn't pay them - $1 Mil of examples cab be given b) Investors have lost their investments due to non-payment of mortgages. c) The BBB has not been paid and the "Online Accredited Business" icon is misleading at best. d) The numerous bank links on the website are being used without authorization. e) The claim that Lance Puig comes from 3 generations of real estate investors is pure embellishment. f) Lance Puig hires people in the Philippines to write comments and compliments in blogs. They are not real. g) An leading figurehead of the company and personal advisor to Lance Puig is an federal ex-con: http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet?Transaction=NameSearch&needingMoreList=false&FirstName=MICHAEL+& Middle=&LastName=BACHER&Race=U&Sex=M&Age=&x=79&y=8. This shows in everything they do, Lance Puig just hasn't been imprisoned - yet. h) Lance Puig/York Street Properties is not a member of the TAA or local apartment assoc. That makes all leases signed with the TAA lease agreements invalid. According to law, the tenant has a right not to honor agreement/no legal protection for investor. i) A majority of properties remain vacant because they're in bad, un-leasable condition. The company is broke. j) Houses are purchased at REO prices (50%), then sold to investors for 90% with minimum remodeling to justify that price. k) Resale, should the investor be faced with that, is impossible at 90% - not to mention the probable liens on the property. l) The 40% profit (j, above) is used to support Lance Puig's unjustified lifestyle and foreign online labor (paid at $5/hour). There are many cases of fraudulent and/or misleading business practices utilized by Lance Puig and York Street Properties, et al. Do you homework before doing any sort of business with this man or his companies. Better yet, why take the risk? In today's economy it's difficult enough to make your hard earned dollars and credit work for you - why add dealing with a broke, unscrupulous and unethical partner to the mix? Don't believe what you read - Lance Puig is a professional at making things look one way, when his representations don't paint the real picture. Last reports have he and his family hiding in their house to avoid process servers. Do your homework - there's too much to list here - don't leave any stone unturned if you need to prove to yourself that investing with Lance Puig/York Street Properties is a bad move. Don't leave any stone unturned before deciding to do business of any sort with this man and his companies - and if you do; get your money in advance - get your own attorney to verify all contracts - be sure you are protected to minimize loss when the "good faith agreements" are inevitably broken.

FACTS are FACTS - Thank You RipOffReport !!!

AUTHOR: Dallas Investor - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, October 02, 2009

A GREAT many people have been hurt by Lance Puig & Companies. 100's of thousands of dollars in unpaid debts to Service Providers; Millions of dollars of exposure and/or losses to investors; False representations to Tenants that York Street Properties owns houses and will sell them to tenants after paying rent timely for 6 months; 10's of thousands of dollars in unreimbursed expenses to Tenants for repairs and Breach of contract in numbers of ways, to mention a few.

Lance Puig and companies operate in an unconscionable manner that violates the principals of law and decency.

This is what websites like "Ripoffreport.com" are all about - helping people when people and companies such as Lance Puig & York Street Properties refuse to honor agreements.
THANK YOU RIPOFFREPORT !!!!!!! your forum to voice, discuss and seek resolutions to corporate ripoff artists is appreciated by thousands, if not millions of users and readers worldwide !!!!!!!

WAKE-UP LANCE PUIG: There are over 900 readers on [just 1 webpage] of complaints already. These complaints will not stop so long as you continue to have unpaid obligations, deal with people dishonorably and seek out more people and companies to do the same to. Take care of your obligations and treat people with fairness according to the law & principals of fairness and these complaints will go away. This is not the work of a single person - you have many skeletons in your closet that have remained silent until now.

York Street Properties has 1 official employee, its "CEO", Lance Puig. It's obvious he would rather continue his practices of deceit, cover-up and harm rather than taking the path of honesty and good faith.

Everything in the report filed on RipOffReport is true and the advice given is sound and honest - do your homework before doing business with Lance Puig and Companies! The facts are; Federal charges have already been filed by one Investor and more are on the way. State and County prosecuting attorneys are investigating and receiving information. BBB has revoked York Street Properties accreditation to prevent others from being duped. Local media is gathering information for an investigative report. Tenant organizations are advised that renting from York Street Properties is dangerous and rent-to-own promises are historically fraudulent.

AGAIN, Thank You RipoffReport !!!!!!!!!!!

YSP - CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION

AUTHOR: Dallas Investor - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 18, 2009
York Street Properties is a criminal organization. BBB has revoked their accreditation as a Reliable Online Business due to numerous complains deemed credible.

The "YSP Official Response" is simply text used to confuse readers and a weak strategy for covering-up their misdeeds.

Lance Puig HAS NO SENSE OF HONOR OR BUSINESS-SENSE

AUTHOR: Dallas Investor - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, September 10, 2009
Since there's only one official employee of York Street Properties, Lance Puig, I'll assume the little blog by "York Street Official Response" cam from him. Here's my thoughts on the subject and the facts:

1) When I and my fellow contractors are paid the approximately $600, 000.00 owed to us (spanning as much as 2 years or more), then you can make the such claims. As for communications and names; you've been communicated with so many times without response it's frightening. As for names, look at the hundreds of invoices and statements we've sent you over time instead of putting the in the garbage. Have a look at your accounts payable records, if you bother to records your debts propertly.

2) Why did so many of the Investors loose their house to repossession? Why did you not pay the mortgages even after the Tenants paid you the rent? You want to communicate with the Investors? Why don't you return their calls, tell them the truth and get their
money and credit ratings back?

3) Why have tenants lived in sub-standard, un-repaired conditions? Worse yet, why have tenants been evicted from their homes
because you haven't paid the mortgages? Why haven't you been truthful with the tenants from the very beginning of their
contract, when you said they could buy the house on a rent-to-own basis - that's purely untrue and fraudulent, in fact.

You've always hoped that all the parties you have been cheating and lying to would never get together. Well guess what - WE HAVE !

Sir, these acts have been going on since 2006 and earlier. This is not something you can blame on the economy - you only have yourself, your dishonesty and your lack of respect for other people to blame.

The BBB has at least 8 serious complaints against your firm and your status with them has been revoked.

The Attorney General is now getting named complaints.

Banking Regulators and Lenders are also investigating with named complaints.

Local and national media is being briefed on the investigation by named sources.

Thank Heavens to the person who started this blog and the person who started the YSP VICTIMS GROUP - we applaud you for your efforts and persistence. However, this group is now about ALL the injured members, not a single "provocateur" as you suggest. You and your companies names are permanently defamed and besmirched - YOU HAVE NOBODY TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF.

We either want financial restitution or you in jail where you can't hurt more hard working Americans!

YSP Official Response

AUTHOR: YSP Official Response - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, September 09, 2009

York Street Properties vehemently disagrees with the assertions in these malicious, anonymous comments concerning our business conduct. While we do not wish to speculate as to someone elses motives, maybe the postings are motivated by the current multi-trillion dollar crisis in the domestic financial/real estate market. If thats true, their focus might be more appropriately directed elsewhere. York Street Properties, like nearly every person and business, suffered in 2008 and the early part of 2009. However, since late spring of this year the real estate market has started to improve and, to that end, our dedicated staff is redoubling its efforts to maximize opportunities for our customers during this improving real estate market. YSP has delivered for many satisfied customers over the past years and much of our business has come (and continues to come) from customer referrals.

YSP does not recognize the comments posted on this unaudited website (or on other non-accredited consumer advocacy) as legitimate and truthful, backed by fact. Only the Better Business Bureau refuses anonymous complaints; therefore, only the BBB is a reliable source of consumer information. Posting anonymously is not an effective, nor fair, way to deal with complaints. Moreover, it is not a normal means to address problems. Contrary to the outrageous claims made by these anonymous snipers, YSP values each of its customers and, when necessary, always welcomes the opportunity to work towards a mutually acceptable outcome. Although rare, when solutions have not been readily achievable, YSP has often refunded money. For years YSP conducted business without such attacks and now, all of a sudden, these anonymous hecklers post online (instead of seeking legitimate means of redress). Worse still, the defamatory material posted here has been copied and re-posted verbatim to other sites. YSP is currently investigating its options to resolve this issue and defend its unfairly besmirched name and urges any potential, existing or former customer (including those who have posted this material) to contact us directly.

York Street Properties - PONZIE SCAM INVESTIGATIONS UNDERWAY

AUTHOR: Dallas Investor - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, September 03, 2009

3 September 2009
Investigators confirm that Lance Puig, owner of York Street Properties, will become the target of a Ponzie Scam investigation by local authorities.

At the behest of numerous investors, property occupants (rentals and rent-to-own), disgruntled service providers and and advocacy group called "York Street Properties [YSP] Victims, reams of hard copy and online documents have been review and substantiated the the actions.

Could Texas have it's very own Bernie Madoff in it's midst?

Proponents of the investigation allege that millions of dollars have been lost and dozens of properties lost to foreclosure - and they warn it's only the first signs of a Ponzie Scam meltdown.
