The "This post has been removed" was from Mario Garcia !!!  He was endorsing the "Right Path Housing" as a legitimate business.

It was there on Dec 18, 2019 and then after I posted my comments, it was removed on Dec 19, 2019.    Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

Anyone reading this thread please contact me.  If you click on "Ryan Sutton" you will see that he has posted twice as already doing "lease-to-own" with a company called Bridgehouse America....which is also owned by Mario Garcia (aka Mario Robert Garcia).   

There is a very long line of people who gave Mario Garcia and Bridgehouse America hundreds of thousands of dollars only to be left with broken promises.   I am personally working with 9 people that Mario/Bridgehouse owes money to and there are many, many more negative reviews on this site, BBB.org, and Yelp.

One is to only assume that because of these bad reviews and legal problems, Mario Garcia has moved Bridgehouse from Colorado, to Arizona, and then to California.  Then he changed his business name to Bridgehouse Investors.

He has now started new "lease-to-own" companies called "Right Path Housing" and "VHS asset management".

He has to change company names because of all of the bad online reviews.

You need to contact me for more proof and do your research.

I highly doubt that Ryan Sutton exists.  We have proof thru IP addresses that Mario Garcia posts online under many different alias' and pseudoname

profiles in order to give his disrreputable businesses positive reviews.

UPDATE:

On Mon Aug 26, 2019 agreed via email to pay our handyman bill of $185, the June rent of $1,400, and the damages to our home caused by the tenant if we took down our reviews (which we did) and close the Better Business complaint (which we did). No money has been paid nor received as of this review on Oct 30, 2019.

We trusted all these broken promises, but it is now Oct 30, 2019 and not one cent has been paid.

The tables turned for the worse after we filed our Better Business complaint and posted negative reviews of Mario Robert/Bridgehouse online. Now he sends awful text messages (I will gladly send them to you), with screen shots of all the money he has in the bank, threatening to “crush us in court”. When you post negatively online he threatens slander lawsuits.

When we read all the reviews, every victims story was the same as ours. We have had the chance to compare our text messages with other victims and they are eerily similar, including the screenshots of his bank-account he sends when threatening to “crush you in court”.

Our tenant was a single mother of 3 whose husband had just recently passed away. She gave Mario Robert of Bridgehouse $7,995. Another victim was also a single mother of 4 who gave $11,900. This list goes on and on which I will gladly provide if contacted.

If you are interested, look at the 30 negative YELP reviews. Make sure you click the link below the reviews that says “24 other reviews that are not currently recommended”. Also google the negative reviews on this website. There are three court cases involving Bridgehouse and its owner, Mario Robert at the Justice Court in Maricopa county in Arizona (case numbers CC2018-219950, CC2018-250364, CC2018-065079).

Two victims, each owed over $10,000 by Bridgehouse (both posted YELP & BiggerPockets reviews) will swear that the person they met at the Bridgehouse America offices in Colorado is the same person who appears in some very negative news articles in Colorado.

I will let not offer my opinion but let you judge for yourself once you have read the articles.

Bridgehouse-America is owned by Mario Robert. He might be going by the name Mario Robert Garcia. Other companies associated with him are “The San Clemente Group” and “Flip Team”. According to the Better Business Bureau, he moved the business from Colorado to Phoenix, AZ and then to Scottsdale, AZ. He is now BRIDGEHOUSE INVESTORS in Mission Viejo California. The Colorado, Arizona, and California businesses are all using the same phone number.

If you contact me, I will provide you all proof of what I have posted. I am a high school teacher, not a landlord. We just wanted to sell our house to pay for my leukemeia treatments but are instead having to use that money to cover the $12,970 in damages that incurred as a direct result of the fraud and willful deceit of Robert Mario Garcia, CEO of BridgehouseAmerica / BridgehouseInvestors.

I tried very hard to make this review as factual as possible.

If you have been victimized, please contact me. There is a growing group of victims who have banded together to make sure that Bridgehouse and its owner, Mario Robert Garcia stops doing this to other people.

UPDATE: Mario from Bridgehouse and I are communicating on a daily basis and he asked that I post this update:

As of Mon Aug 26, he has verbally agreed to pay our handyman bill of $185, the June rent of $1,400, and the damages to our home caused by the tenant. No money has been paid nor received yet since the tenant is still in the home.

We had to pay out of our pocket the $500 to evict and another $500 for a real estate attorney. On Aug 22, 2019 we got a judgement against the tenant for July, Aug, & half of Sept rent. The tenant must move out Sept 15, 2019. The judge allowed the tenant to pay $250 monthly payments until the $3,500 in back rent is paid up.

Mario from Bridgehouse has verbally agreed to schedule & pay for the contractors to go in an repair our damaged home once the tenant moves out on Sept 15. He does not want to pay the June rent until we are sure how much the damages are to the house.

Obviously we are going to be out the rest of Sept rent due to the repairs. We are out $1,000 in attorney & court fees. And we won't see June rent until end of Sept and the back rent will not be paid up until Nov, 2020.

We are not landlords. This was the home we raised our children in and have held on to it to avoid capital gains tax. But after this episode we are going to sell the house and get out of the rental business.

UPDATE: Mario from Bridgehouse and I talked over the phone this morning. (Aug 11, 2019). It showed me professionalism that he answered my phone call on a Sunday morning.

Although I do not agree that I was being racist, it has never been my practice nor intention to get into a name calling incident, so that post he found offensive was removed. I do not believe that he is connected with anyone in Colorado.

His website that is on BBB is www.bridgehouseamerica.com.

That site is no longer active, so I was correct in my statement.

His company has relocated from AZ to CA and is now www.bridgehouseinvestors.com

He verbally agreed to pay me June rent tomorrow (Mon Aug 12, 2019) and stated to send him repairs for damages the tenant caused.

Here is hope that this can be resolved amicably.

I will update this post once I receive the money we are owed.
