Hooked on Overages
This month we are excited to host guest speaker Attorney Bob Diamond. There are millions of dollars hidden away in government bank accounts waiting to be claimed. If that money is not claimed by the deadline it becomes property of the government – FOREVER – and is lost to the government!
In one large county in America there is thirty two million dollars sitting in the government bank accounts waiting to be claimed. In that particular jurisdiction if that money is not claimed within thirty-six months then the government gets to keep it – forever! So in that jurisdiction the government transfers nearly three million dollars a month from the holding account into the government operating accounts! And the people who the money should have been given to have lost it forever!
This is not what you expect – it’s not from lost bank accounts, unclaimed insurance policies, uncashed checks or unused gift cards. Everyone knows about those monies and you can easily see them on State Treasurers websites.
Where this money does come from is forced sales of real estate due to unpaid real estate taxes. Those sales happen every business day in America – in fact 28,000 parcels are offered for sale every business day and over the course of a year five billion dollars is generated from sales of those properties and liens against the properties (both sales of properties and liens can generate overages due to the former owner).
The sad fact is that few people who are owed this money are aware of the money and thus few of them ever get the money. Instead the government keeps the money.
Why is that?
Simple – because the people owed the money have no idea that the money is waiting for them to claim it. And since they don’t know about it the deadline to claim it slips by and the money is lost forever to the government.
Why doesn’t the government get these folks their money? Simple – they have no incentive to find the people owed the money or give it back to them. There is no budget or department to find the people owed the money and if the people don’t show up to claim the money the government can keep it – forever! And we all know that governments are short of money these days so they are glad to take the money.
So what does this have to do with you? Easy – you can help connect the people owed the money with their money – and take a finder’s fee for making that connection! There are literally millions and millions of dollars waiting to be claimed and you and get a part of that money! Join me on October 23rd at REAPS and I will show you how!

Robert Diamond, Esq.
We teach you how to make substantial fees of thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars locating money stranded in hidden government bank accounts and getting that money back to its rightful owner.
- This is NOT abandoned bank accounts or anything else you see on late night infomercials or your State Treasurers website
- There are hundreds of millions of dollars waiting to be claimed right this minute - and if it is not claimed in time then it is lost forever to our money-hungry government
- This money is hidden discretely in bank accounts and is not on the internet
- The money is there for the asking but virtually no former owners know the money is there and thus they never ask for it
- You will learn how to find that money and recover it for the former owner in exchange for a nice fat referral fee!
Bob Diamond is a practicing real estate attorney and investor with years of experience in real estate law, investment, development and is the author of three books on real estate investing.

For his own account Bob has been investing in real estate for over twenty years and has participated as the buyer, seller, or attorney in over one hundred million dollars in real estate transactions over the past twenty years.

Spenser, do a BPO and document all of the issues with the house. It’s likely the person who counter offered hasn’t been inside the home. Have you? If so, use photos and video and document document document exactly what needs to be cured in the home and spell it out for the bank why your offer is fair.
Hi Brandon,
I use LT Services in Burien for my postings and I don’t think they work on the weekends so I might send them the lease and tenant info on Saturday and I know it will be posted first thing on Monday morning. I have kids and a life outside of this business that I treasure but yes, I work weekends when I need to stay on top of my business. The trade-off is that I can be available for my kids during the week when they need me…and I’m grateful for that. So, basically, I work when the work needs to be done, regardless of the day of the week.
That’s kind of how I got started! I purchased my first rental as student housing right after I graduated from WWU. I purchased it with my college friend….who remains my business partner to this day. I’ve never had more than 1 – 2 days of vacancy since 1999. Wish I’d purchased more in Bellingham. Good luck to you.
