If the agent presented you some type of fraudulent documentation or fake pay stubs you may have some type of claim.

Failure to do so violates the terms of loan and subjects you to the loan being called due Making fraudulent statements in acquiring a loan is subject to prosecution Describing it in "hoochie doll" terms.

If I was Jim, I would tell Richards Building Supply to produce an agreement where Jim gave them the right to put a lean, and also advise them that a lawsuit for damages will follow if they attempt to fraudulently pursue this otherwise.

But, if you never buy and enter contracts that you always assign, the fraudulent dealing becomes obvious. :) 

We had a 3-5 year plan, but now we are creeping up on 6 ...Thanks again, everyone, I don't mean to be difficult when everyone is giving me so much help, I guess it's just an odd situation and many roads aren't really viable (or something that's not really part of my bigger plan) so I'm just trying to explain more about it, not be combative or anything, I really am appreciative of all of you!

If the title is clouded (liens or encumbrances) or it turns out they didn't have the right to sell it, you have no recourse with the grantor short of fraudulent behavior.

Fraudulent Affidavits and so on…….

Posting about fraudulent RE transactions on public forum is not a winning strategy.

There was a pretty high profile case of a couple getting a hefty fine and some jail time over a fraudulent property disclosure here in Florida a couple of years ago:http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/couple-charged...

bad business practice from the get go... if you want to list and sell real estate you might want to get in the profession were a listing agreement gives you 2 to 6 months to sell something and assures you get paid.. instead of going into contract with no ability short of finding someone to assign a contract.. its what gives wholesalers such a bad name in the industry. not to mention a seller can back out at anytime since you went into the contract with fraudulant inducement. you may want to rethink this some.. the landscaped is littered with those that try and blow what little cash they have and end up never doing a deal.
