Irony of Ironies
So, with this new law, you've eliminated investors, real estate agents, and now even buyers in general from the foreclosure marketplace.
Dear Rob,
How bad is your new consumer protection law dealing with foreclosure rescue scams?
Worse than you could ever imagine.
It’s so bad, in fact, real estate agents are running from people in default, refusing to list their properties or help them sell.
Now, here’s the crazy part . . .

Texas Hold ‘em, a Very Simple Game
Why the poker talk on a blog about foreclosures and real estate?

Regulate This
The trend toward government dominance, interference, and altering of voluntary contracts is prevalent and a most dangerous sign.
Dear Rob,
Sen. Brian Weinstein has decided to “regulate” foreclosure rescues out of existence by creating laws that restrict a homeowner’s right to freely contract, per HB 2791.
These foreclosure rescue ‘white knights’ aren’t in it for anything else than their own self-interest, and we should probably put them out of business.Sen. Brian Weinstein, D-Mercer Island
Chairman of the Senate Consumer Protection Committee.
There’s more . . .
