We have standard templates that are used and each deal looks identical, apart from the actual words written in the 20-50 page presentations.I'm curious as to how this translates into the Commercial and Residential Real Estate Investment worlds, specifically from the eyes of the investor.

I've tried to avoid disclosing my actual location due to the necessity to keep the potential business sale and my "real" identity as confidential as feasible . . .

There are legit needs but the fraud is rampant and Landlords should learn how to protect themselves.

This is classic fraud as defined by the SEC, and why you need an attorney.

Your lender may consider this fraud- read your loan agreement.  

I'd write letters to the credit bureaus explaining the situation and showing proof (birth certificate, drivers license) that the people in question were indeed minors at the time of the charge-offs, collections, etc. and were victims of fraud.

Hello, I came across a property where the seller was a victim of mortgage fraud. 

Since you have occupied your unit for two years, half (assuming both sides of the duplex are identical) of your gain would be tax-free (up to the $500k limit for married couples filing jointly) under Section 121.

If you believe this is a deliberate misrepresentation by either one of the agents, then that is considered fraud. 

Thank you,Dethorn Please be very careful that insurance fraud does not apply.
