INVESTORS BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY

INVESTORS BEWARE!!!

The first and last 60/40 JV deal I closed with this company (see below) settled on 10/28, Monday morning. It's now Friday evening, 11/1, and I still haven't received my money. An amount sent via email in a spreadsheet, 2 days after the date we agreed I would receive payment, was equal to 12% of the net profits...Vastly different from the 60% split I was anticipating after rehabbing, managing and selling the property...This calculation included doubled the closing costs, recouping revenue and expenses that were already subtracted from the HUD/CD. Prior to closing, I had a feeling Sean Richway, the president of this company, would do this. So, I asked to be paid at closing. That was denied with all types of excuses. My wire instructions were sent without the company's request, which was questionable. Responses from Sean prior to receiving the settlement money were within the hour. Now, that Sean is in receipt of the closing funds, responses take 24 hours...Before experiencing this very unprofessional way of handling business - I knew there wouldn't be a second time at bat with Sean and this company given the 3% monthly management fee outlined in the JV agreement. This clause is a very sneaky way to turn his 40% split to upwards of 50%. Sean, when discussing this transaction at least, did not manage the subject property in any aspect. Yet, he stands to generate $37K in management fees. Roughly, 1/3 of the net proceeds...That's a straight rip off! The money I've earned should have been wired at this point, period. Any amounts in question north of this payment, could be hashed out and negotiated at a later date. If I do not receive payment Monday, a full week after closing - I will be contacting the authorities. Hopefully, I've saved a few people from dealing with this drama.

Fellow investors, BEWARE!!! 


Sean Richway, President

@Kevin Tillery - Correction - Recording the Joint Venture agreement clearly did not cloud title or it would not have closed.
