President’s Letter

Hello fellow Real Estate Investors. If you are new to our group, you are in the right place to learn the game of investing in real estate. If you have been a member, thanks for helping our REIA be one of the best in the country for helping our members in every aspect of owning real estate.

Your KREIA board members are awesome too in case you don't already know. We are always thinking of the how's and means to improve on everything from the website to checking in at the meetings. Our "wizard" Mike Butler has come up with an easy check in procedure you can do online and even pay in advance to avoid the line at the door that can sometimes get bogged down. If you need help with the website or logging in we will have a help table to assist. All of this is streamlining the whole process and bringing us all up to the latest technology. It's not always easy at first but just think of it like buying gas. Who doesn't use a card to swipe at the pump instead of going inside to wait in line to write a check?

In addition to Mike Butler, Aru Tarr is always tweaking something to make it better too. Eric is keeping our presence known on Facebook, Mike Grinnan is keeping our financials in order, Linda has the room set up and the delicious food ordered and the list just goes on and on of what your board does. I for one, say thank you to all the volunteers as it makes my job as president a piece of cake and our club is benefitting from all this talent.

Dennis is busy getting the speakers lined up every month and this month is going to be a GREAT one with Larry Goins whose presentation called "Filthy Riches" will show us how to make mega bucks on houses no one else wants! What a concept! Read more about Larry inside. It should be a packed house so be sure and register on line, pre-pay, to reserve your seat and I will see you there!

Happy and productive investing everyone! Your President,

Connie Horsey

P.S. Please take photos at KREIA with your cell phone and email to KreiaTreasurer@gmail.com - No photos were sent in last month.

Double P.S. It was not that long ago when KREIA had to turn people away at the door because too many people were already in the room.

The recent economic state of affairs has led to many new developments in the real estate industry. Imagine ten short years ago asking your lender to release its mortgage lien on your property for 50 cents (or less) on the dollar. You would have been laughed out of the bank.

But with the collapse of property values in some areas, a new term has entered our real estate lexicon: “short sale.” We all know the drill. The homeowner completes the necessary paperwork, usually consisting of a sample HUD, financial statements, title commitment or opinion letter, BPOs, etc. and forwards the package to the mortgage servicer, and waits and waits and waits.

The lender will eventually get back in touch claiming that the information is out-of-date (though it wasn’t when it was submitted). Additional documentation is usually requested, and the transaction might be approved with certain conditions, possibly requiring that the person making the request execute an affidavit that they have submitted correct information asking for loan forgiveness.

Unfortunately, bad times often tempt people to do things that they would never consider in a million years under ordinary circumstances.

Consider a typical midwestern couple: They were the owners of a McMansion in the upscale community of Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. Since they could no longer afford their home, and they were “upside down,” they requested a short sale from ING Direct, a subsidiary of Capital One Financial. They submitted all the proper documentation, including current financial disclosures and a letter pleading financial hardship. The bank approved the sale, and the couple was asked to pay an additional $10,000.00 toward the shortfall of $90,000.00.

All was well, or so it seemed.

The problem was with their creative financial planning, or should we say scheming? You see, the couple owned a home in Florida free and clear, which they conveyed to a relative shortly before the short sale negotiations began.

Five months after the closing--and the debt relief was finalized--the $600,000 Florida home was transferred back into their names for the bargain price of $10.00.

The lender was not impressed with their creative plan.

The result was a criminal indictment for fraud brought in federal court in Detroit. The specific allegations for fraud included making false statements to the lender, hiding assets, and failing to disclose ready available cash.

A felony plea of guilty was taken before the judge on January 29, 2013. Sentencing will be shortly, and the United States Attorney is asking for a monetary fine and/or up to 18 months to serve in the federal penitentiary.

And exactly who is this typical Midwestern couple? Well the husband is a lawyer (imagine that, one bad apple), and the wife had been a Justice on the Michigan Supreme Court since 2008, until she abruptly resigned last month, no doubt for personal reasons. So now she will appear before another Judge to receive her sentence. (Thus it can truly be said that it is much better to give than to receive, especially when handing out jail time.)

The lesson learned: when processing short sale applications, make sure that all information submitted is accurate and that no pertinent facts are omitted. If a Democrat judge is not shielded by the feds in a Blue state like Michigan, you are not going to be receiving any mercy in Kentucky for a similar offense.

your requests every four months from one bureau to the next. You're also entitled to a free credit report from each bureau after you place a 90-day fraud alert on your credit file-which you should do every 90 days if you've been notified of a security breach, your wallet has been stolen, or you detect other red flags of ID theft. The alerts prompt lenders to more carefully verify applicants using your ID.

Web scans offer false security.

Some services scan online black-market chat rooms for your stolen Social Security number or credit-card numbers. But if crooks are found to have your ID data, you can't get it back from them.

Do it yourself for less. If your data turn up on a scan, protection companies advise you to place a security freeze on your credit reports. That prevents new creditors from getting access to your file when someone tries to open an account, so they're more likely to deny a crook's credit application. But you can freeze your files without paying a service to scan the Web. There's a small fee for each freeze in most states, unless you're already a victim of ID theft.

$1 million insurance is overkill.

Most services offer up to $1 million in ID-theft insurance. But they don't pay if your loss is covered by federal consumer protections, your homeowners or renters insurance, or a merchant, which is the norm. The majority of ID-theft victims had zero out-of-pocket loss in 2011, according to Javelin. A minority did lose money-the average was $309 for existing-account fraud and $1,205 for new-account fraud.

Alerts are overpriced.

Six of the eight biggest ID-protection services offer e-mail or text alerts when they detect that your identity might be fraudulently used in credit, cellular, and utility-service applications. You can stop the crime by responding "That's not me."

That simple service might be worth paying for, but it comes rolled up with other unnecessary services. One expert says corporations already use the underlying ID-scoring technology to stop most fraudulent applications without alerts.

Do it yourself for less. If you think the service is worthwhile, buy stand-alone alerts for $5 a month and get a free ID-theft protection risk assessment at myidalerts.com.

Special thanks to your fellow KREIA Member Ralph, who forwarded this eye-opening article to share with all members.

DON’T GET TAKEN GUARDING YOUR ID

ABOUT 50 MILLION U.S. consumers spent $3.5 billion in 2010 to buy products that are claimed to protect their identity. But do-it-yourself safeguards are just as effective as paid services, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, a California consulting firm. And self-help costs little to nothing; the paid services cost $120 to $300 annually. Here's why you don't need to buy ID-theft protection:

Marketing Can Be Deceptive.

Regulators have slapped the ID-protection industry several times for deceptive marketing practices. Last summer, after actions by federal regulators, Capital One and Discover Financial Services agreed to pay a combined $410 million in refunds and penalties related to deceptive marketing of identity protection, credit monitoring, and other services. Prior to that, Affinion, Experian Consumer Direct and LifeLock had been caught and punished for alleged deceptive marketing practices, such as not adequately disclosing automatic sign-up after "free" trials and promising to prevent ID theft, even though the services don't actually do that.

The Threat is Exaggerated.

Two-thirds of cases of ID theft reported to the annual National Crime Victimization Survey involve stolen credit cards, not stolen identities. Federal regulations limit your liability, usually to $50 per account, and even that is often waived by card issuers. And stolen debit cards and check forgery, and existing-account fraud makes up 80 percent of so-called ID theft.

Do it yourself for less. Sign up for free online banking and mobile apps to monitor your checking and credit accounts daily.

New-account fraud is uncommon.

The most destructive type of ID theft is having your name, birth date, and Social Security number used to open credit accounts, tap your health insurance, or file a tax return in your name to steal your refund, among other crimes. But less than 1 percent of households experienced that form of ID theft in 2010, according to the Department of Justice.

Credit monitoring is flawed.

The core of many ID-protection products is credit monitoring, which looks for fraudulent new accounts on your credit reports. But most e-mail and mobile alerts from these services raise false alarms about routine changes in your file. And if fraud is detected, you might not be "warned" until days, weeks, or months after the fact.

Do it yourself for less. Get free annual credit reports from each of the three major credit-reporting bureaus-Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion-by going to annualcreditreport.com. Stagger
