They don't want that kind of exposure out there, because there may be other properties that have had this happen as The VA is still passing out bonuses despite the current scandal so I doubt they would care

The new American posture that all consumers are victims and have no control over their personal choices has become a common theme since the start of the Obama era, and is still widely promoted by liberals as the reason that we need to move to more of a Bernie Sanders' socialist agenda.The real scandal that the PBS is afraid to talk aboutEqually damaging for the liberals who support and manage PBS is the 800 pound gorilla of real estate lies: that the American taxpayer is supporting the apartment industry.

But since the big scandal last year with the CEO, they are putatively touting better underwriting standards.  

My name is Barrett and I'm a new-ish investor based in Las Vegas, NV.I just started posting bandit signs (I know that's a scandalous topic on here), while emailing probate lawyers for leads.Eager to transition out of the rat race and into my own investing business!

People didn't get many free houses out of the robo signing scandals, what they did get were their cases delayed or dismissed and refiled with corrected documents.

From a recent statement by Aitan Goelman of the CFTC, “Lloyds is being held accountable for serious misconduct,” by both U.S. and U.K. regulators.Because mainstream media in the U.S. has largely ignored this scandal, many have scarcely heard of it.

(I'm on a Mac and the mention feature doesn't seem to be working) I think I would prefer Shelby County... fewer scandals... haha.

@Ken Yeung While there are certainly some scandalous TK companies that are very active in the Indianapolis market, they are typically exposed pretty early on here.

It seems inevitable that the Republicans take control of the House, and likely gain many seats in the Senate.This type of situation is called "grid-lock" becuase both parties can essentially keep each other from getting anything accomplished.It is my understanding that grid-lock is histroically good for equity markets, but I wanted to start a discussion to see what BPers believe the effect will be on the RE market.You can take into account the potential "foreclosuregate" scandal as well as it seems inevitable.

Experienced real estate people know that the percentage of people able to earn a decent living at real estate wholesaling is very small, that the failure rate is scandalously high, that the knowledge required is significantly greater than what can be obtained in guru classes and seminars, that the vast majority of wholesalers do not inform sellers that they will not close unless they are able to assign the contract for a profit, that inexperienced and under capitalized wholesaler do nothing but muddy the waters in many ways, etc.These are the facts as learned by experienced real estate people through their continuous years of participation in the field.
