A lot of people get themselves in trouble by acting as a conduit to mild fraud or just general deceit within the rules..Hmmm, he is bragging all over Youtube how he is making $150,000 from one guy's equity, on one transaction, by bailing him out of foreclosure.

@Armando Carrera as others said above that’s mortgage fraud and not at all what an FHA loan is for.

The advantage of Reg D over relying on the general exemption is (1) if you comply the SEC can’t come back and say you should have registered and (2) if your sued by a disgruntled investor you have a definitive defense, which means an attorney is unlikely to take an investors case on a contingency basis - unless fraud was committed.  

99% identical to Joe above, only difference is we use loan docs vs an agreement with wholesaler. 

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

I have yet to come across a policy that covered for fraud or illegal activities. 

.• Coercion, fraud, oppression, duress, and undue influence.• That the deed is not subsequent to the execution of the mortgage but contemporaneous with it.• That the grantor/mortgagor was insolvent at the time of the execution of the deed.An estoppel affidavit (executed and acknowledged by the grantor/mortgagor, attesting to the fairness of the transaction, the consideration exchanged, the value of the property, and other factors showing an intention to make a genuine transfer) or a recital (inserted directly in the deed) are supporting documents used to forestall challenges to these transactions.State law and local title standards must be consulted in regard to the consideration and treatment of deeds in lieu of foreclosure.What a GREAT post!   

IYes, facebook is full of fraud.

This kind of govt nosiness and overreach is why I initially decided against the financial planning industry before starting in credit. you can thank 2008 and all the fraud that went on for that.
