Big News Big Lessons: Imran Awan RE shortcuts to trouble

[Matthew Herrington]

Regardless of your Politics, the recent scandal surrounding US House of Reps. IT worker Imran Awan has a core lesson about conducting your Real Estate business in an above board manner. See below for the most recent news story but also check out the FBI's criminal complaint which allowed for his arrest and detention (2nd link). Obviously there are other issues in play here, but the legal basis for his current trouble should give pause to rookies and pros alike that are investing using their and their family members' names. See if you or someone you know could end up on the wrong side of this US District Court Criminal Complaint. Removing the flashy news story, the name and the other issues, there is a pure REI teachable point about what kind of worst case trouble can happen when you are less than accurate in your dealings.
