Hell, I've been an independant consultant for 30 years.My point in criticising the MLM "foreclosure help factories' is that in my professional experience (investigating allegations of predatory practices for the Mortgage Bankers Association, Washington DC, and serving as Plaintiff's expert on mortgage loan servicing in several Federal Bankruptcy Courts, plus running my own NonProfit preforeclosure counseling org for a decade) is that the offer to "help" evaporates the instant the so-called services provider realizes there isn't a buck to be made.... leaving the distressed homeowner in worse straights.If you are an exception to the generalization, that's great as you are one less businessman in need of oversight.

Instant cash in my pocket.Who knows maybe hes just a terrible landlord.
