Obviously nothing to do with registered securities. 

10%

Seems like there was an arb case that involved a similar deal. I think Bill Singer's site posted the results a few months ago. In that case, a B/D sponsored the ads and had to pay a big fine.

The ad sounds like it's advertising securities, to me.

Malcontent,



They are first trust deeds silly.

Actually I do a little investing in real estate.  I have sellers deed their properties to me in multiple trusts for each property and the buying mechinism is called a land contract.  I then have my LLP as the bene on my trusts.  If you went to the county recorder it would show I own none of these homes although legally ownership hs been transferred t me. This is how I am able to take over the sellers payments and I avoid the cost of having to get a new mortgage along with said costs.  Then I sell these homes using lease options.  I carry my new buyers who cant get mortgages. They put money down and we set a closing date anywhere from 12 months to 36 months into the future.   If they cant close for any reason I keep the down. 

My firms lets me send out ads via direct mail to search for buyers and I run it as a side business that is fun and profitable.  I was just surprised that this guy doing these ads is allowed to say guaranteed because it isn't as simple as that and I think it misrepresents  the comlexity of what is being done.

Thanks for enlighting me though BPD.

Sounds a little complicated.  The part about deeding to you via multiple trusts is the one that really has me scratching my head....

...and the IRS sharpening their pencils!

Seriously, in South Georgia, several "Einsteins" have attempted a similar type of real estate investing. In their case, they actually bought the property and bank financed it themselves, for people who could not get mortgage loans. The downpayment was 10-20% of the purchase price and the premium over the regular monthly payment was $150+ per month. Like your example, the lease-to-purchase agreement was 36 months. The "Einsteins" could get multiple mortgages of this type from the bank, because they showed their monthly receipts as rental income. The banks were only happy to oblige a "good" mortgage customer.

Well, as you may have guessed, a problem developed. Seems the "Einsteins" missed making some of their mortgage payments. (They personally pocketed the downpayments and the mortgage payments.) The banks foreclosed and the poor buyers lost their downpayments and whatever they paid-in for the mortgage payments. Some of the buyers filed civil suits against the "Einsteins", but they got no-where due to either an "Einstein" bankruptcy declaration or an "Einstein" skipping town.

I thought the above wording looked familar! That's in the fine print they use on the "Thighmaster" infomercials!
