I found this article online and I thought that everyone would find it intersting. Mortgage fraud is the No. 1 white collar crime in america and a lot of people don’t know they are even doing it. This article talks about a Guru who was caught in a type of securities fraud.

Ottawa Hills home of Ulmer in foreclosure

Genoa Bank foreclosed on John Ulmer’s Ottawa Hills home after the self-described “master of the modern day money machine” failed to make payments on his $600,000 mortgage.

“I’m not surprised in light of his personal financial situation,” said Mr. Ulmer’s lawyer, Jerry Phillips, who added that Mr. Ulmer was unaware of the filing.

The Ohio Department of Commerce closed Mr. Ulmer’s real estate investment company, the Westhaven Group, in December. Company records showed that 77 investors were not paired with any mortgages on properties to back their investments, a form of securities fraud that caused Westhaven to be placed under state control.

Westhaven used the investors’ money as loans to buy distressed houses, which were then sold on land contract, usually to families with poor credit histories.

When a land contract holder fell behind on payments, Mr. Ulmer preferred to be dramatic. A Westhaven employee would hand the delinquent tenant milk crates and tell him he was moving, Mr. Ulmer said, laughing, on audiotapes of his real estate seminars obtained by The Blade.

By comparison, Genoa Bank simply filed a complaint with the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas on Monday after payments from Mr. Ulmer failed to arrive.

As of Feb. 1, Mr. Ulmer owes $560,174 on the mortgage he and his wife, Constance, took out for 2535 Underhill Road in 1999. The couple bought the 4,000-square-foot house for $329,100 in 1992.

Genoa Bank initially released the Ulmers from the mortgage in 2005, according to filings with the Lucas County recorder.

However, Genoa Bank amended that release on March 7, 2006, writing that it meant to release a mortgage for Westhaven’s former headquarters on Renwyck Drive, which was damaged by fire in 2003.

Mr. Ulmer may live in the Ottawa Hills house during the length of the foreclosure proceeding, said David Honold, a lawyer for Genoa Bank.

Mr. Phillips said the fallen real estate mogul subsists by lecturing at real estate boot camps, a career move supported by Chuck Smith, who led a recent boot camp in Cleveland where Mr. Ulmer spoke.

“Everybody deserves a second chance - this is America,” Mr. Smith said.

Although tickets for the weekend event cost $3,500, Mr. Ulmer was not compensated for his hour-long presentation, Mr. Smith said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. –A Greenwich man was charged Friday with defrauding a New York bank of at least $7 million.

Yesterday there was new information released about the US housing statistics. Seems that the inventory of houses on the market from the past six months is the highest in 10 years. Enter the buyers market…

An estimated 550,000 houses are currently for sale in the US and there has already been a 10% decline in sales activitiy.

It was also reported that builders involved in the huge condo boom in Miami Florida are halting construction on projects in fear of being caught holding the bag. Housing starts are down 30% and most of the big housing stocks are in decline.

Foreclosure activity has increased in New Jersey as well. We are noticing an increased amount of public notices, lis pendens and longer sale lists. Lower upset amounts at sales combined with gossip of REO Brokers coming back in a big way.

Are these the signs of a bust?

Buying foreclosure properties at the Sheriff’s Sale (or Auction as it’s commonly known) is one of the best and quickest ways to make big profits in the distressed real estate business. However, it can also be the easiest way to lose.

The sale of a property comes at the end of the foreclosure process when the defaulting property owner cannot repair their financial problems with the lending institution.

There are 2 types of foreclosure, “judicial” and “non-judicial”. In basic terms, the “judicial” process requires the lender to file a suit against the borrower and the “non-judicial” process does not. The judicial foreclosure is a much more lengthy process due to the restrictions and schedules set forth by the courts. For our purposes, we will focus on the “judicial” process since it is the method used in New Jersey.

The process starts with the mortgage document, a security instrument used to pledge the property as protection against the loan.

When a default occurs, the lender attempts to end the homeowner’s rights of possession. The lender must file suit and prove in court that it has the right to sell the property to recover its loss by virtue of the default and as stipulated in the signed security instrument. If awarded a final judgment from the court, the mortgage company will proceed with the foreclosure process and the property will be scheduled for sale.

The properties are sold at public auction under the direction of the court in the county where the property is located. The winning bidder of this auction will receive clear title to the property (excluding taxes owed and other municipal liens, more on this later). About 80% of the time the successful bidder is the lender, the original mortgage holder.

Attorneys are usually there to represent the lenders in the bidding process. Get to know these attorneys because they can provide you with the judgment amounts and other information before the sale, giving you extra time to plan your strategy. There will also be investors, onlookers and other curious individuals observing the proceedings.

Occasionally, a lien holder of the property will appear trying to salvage what they can from their remaining interests. Rare but certainly possible, the homeowner may show up to bid on their own property. Remember, the owner has 10 days to redeem the property for the full judgment amount. In the event of redemption, all prior liens will become active again. In other words, it’s like reversing the foreclosure process; you’re back to where you started with only the foreclosing lien holder paid off.

Rewards

The biggest reward to buying properties at the Sheriff sale is the high profit potential. If there is a substantial difference between the fair market value of a property and its final judgment amount at sale, you can really win big. Typically, the largest monetary rewards will come from the proper application of this investment method.

Sales are usually advertised 4 - 6 weeks in advance. In some counties, this information may be available 6 - 8 months or more before the sale (tip –information available this far in advance can drastically differ from the properties that eventually end up at sale because the owners are only 3-4 months behind at this point and it is relatively easy to cure the default). By the time they reach the sheriff’s department you have at least 1 month before the sale.

In New Jersey, all owners are entitled to 2 adjournments for a period of 2 weeks each. The owner can take them all at once or in 2 separate intervals, usually giving you 2 months from the publication/release date to do your research.

You will need to research the property, the condition of the loan and the condition of the owner. Why the owner? If you can work out a satisfactory arrangement with them, you might be able to save yourself the trouble of going to the auction. If you meet with the owner and cannot work out a deal, take careful note of the property’s condition while you are there. This will give you a competitive advantage over other bidders at the auction.

You should go to the courthouse and observe the process a few times before going to bid on your property. It’s certainly a good idea to familiarize yourself with the local auction process.

For instance, certain counties do not announce the judgment amounts of their properties and if you are not careful, you might end up paying over the amount necessary to purchase.
