It's time to face the real world and start thinking of EVERYTHING you do having a consequence that may, in fact, not only be NO FUN, but may affect your life in negative ways for a very, very, long time. You believed the promises of big bucks. You know nothing about being a real estate investor. You decided to flip houses for a living anyway. You have a group of us concerned cititizens worry about your statement that you may go "under the radar" if things go bad. February 14th, 2007 at 9:59 am Umm I have a "job" you could do for me. B. Job, that is. You and your wife never meant to defraud banks what, 8 times? I may believe once, maybe 2 homes, but 8 in a row? February 14th, 2007 at 9:02 am Wow - Casey kept my comment off his site. I mut be getting better at this! February 14th, 2007 at 9:17 am I don't know if someone has told you about the IRS, so I will since it seems to be low on your radar of worries. Remember your outrage when wells fargo claimed money from your checking, you should know that if you are in deep to the IRS they can go into any checking account you own and clean it out. In fact, when thie happened to friends I know, the IRS actually OVERDREW their accounts by a few thousand, all without warning. February 14th, 2007 at 9:58 am Casey says, Disagreed. Many of the people I work with don't have great credit. Some have come out of college six figures in debt. However, most of the financial firms I interviewed with actually didn't make me sign for a credit history check (Goldman Sachs was the one exception.) (Maybe, i can do a short sale or two, then file) Lostsite, I'm glad you see it that way, and I'm sure Casey will be recruiting you for his jury box, but you're wrong. Think about it for a second. Pretend you're a lender. 171. Deep Thoughts Time what a waste Subscribe to Blog 113. star He did call a BK attorney. I would imagine that he is following what that BK attorney said and not the uniformed opinion of an Internet flame thrower. 46.

He can't drive the broken down Jetta there, and likely get stuck in the desert. At least he's not taking on more debt by buying a last minute airline ticket. 76. Chris Johnson He took out loans that collectively require at least a $300,000 income to service. An insignificant fact that should have appeared somewhere in his worst-case scenarios when he was planning his RE investment empire. But "worst-case scenario" is not in Casey's vocabulary. Neither is "planning", for that matter. 88. possum Here are some directions You live at home with your (wife's) parents. You are uneducated and unsophisticated.

So, stop the pain, flip the switch and go underground. It's not easy but it certainly would be a worthy adventure for a young person. Very bloggable, too, I would imagine.

WhoMeWorry I don't know the right answer to your first question. I'll find out though. Regarding the second question, the answer is it depends. It depends on if there's anything to go after. In your case there isn't. The lender may file a judgment against you in which case you will never own property in your own name again. No wrap arounds can skirt that. 127. Doug I have like 23 accounts between my wife and I. That's alot of forbearance agreements to negotiate. And usually the forbearance/repayment plans have a higher payment per month because they want you to pay minimum plus a small portion of the past due balance until I get caught up. 138. Catch me if you can I hope that most people can work out of a situation that they got into by poor luck, but you were given extraordinary opportunity (a free education/citizenship in the United States) and squandered it.

Mark I know I know 159. innocentbystander I may have to go under the radar February 14th, 2007 at 12:26 am Casey, if I remember the reason you wanted to avoid BK was because of the impact on your credit score and financial life. However, I have to wonder if you've got two foreclosures (soon to be anyway) on your record what the difference really is? (I know you believe the first one won't show up, but it's a public record and will show up sooner or later) February 14th, 2007 at 11:41 am #49.

Casey Serin I mentioned that bankruptcy will not discharge everything, but it will allow you to force the banks to accept short sales, and it will give you a way to reduce the interest rates you were being charged. Taking this path would have reduced the amount you would have ended up owing. It would have allowed you to force the sale of the assets (houses) at whatever price you could get w/o the bank trying to hold out for more at your risk (I mentioned that you should not expect a Real Estate turn around for a while). It would have forced credit lenders to lower their high interest rates. finances / income (16) 182. Captain_WFT I No Gotta Da Vida: It's all good. Hmmm, how true is that? What does it mean?

Also, it seems that it is steady income that will keep your marriage alive, especially given that your wife is the type of person who needs financial stability. The floor is open for further suggestions! 29. is_this_real I said I will pay back every dirty penny" back a few months ago IF I can find a way to do that. So far I haven't found a way. I'm also OK settling the debt for less then full balance because if I can't pay it all back I feel good about paying back at least a portion of it. I will do what I can do. 38. Michelle I suspected one reason you don't want to declare BK is that you have other sources of money coming in, otherwise you would not be able to maintain the lifestyle that you maintain. This is not a rant, but an observation that the creditors out there also are going to suspect this, and will have a greater tendency to locate these sources so they can get their money back. They are not stupid, but driven by higher authorities (their shareholders or the Federal Reserve) to do everything they can to recover their lost revenues. 49. Nigel Swaby I think you should go to the auction and bid like a madman .then walk away right before the auctioneer says "SOLD". Then get one of your friends to do the same and continue this all day. That should give you enough time to work in the short sale Which, guess what? 5. DrifterBee I Will Teach You To Be Rich 50. Sara I wonder how well that will ride with a Judge as you face criminal charges? Dallas (8) Good things are coming The IRS tax debt is going to be an issue that won't go away with Bankruptcy, but $75K in debt isn't horrendous. At the ~8% interest the IRS charges, that's $6K/year or $500/month. That's relatively manageable.

LongShanks If (by miracle) all your remaining houses sold and you were only left with a few hundred thousand in debt, do you still comprehend the situation that you are in? For the next 7 years, you will be unable to by any property (because you will be in jail or no one will lend you money). An pragmatic, business minded person would have taken that money and earned a degree. You could have financed an ENTIRE IVY LEAGUE EDUCATION with that money. At that point, you could have made actual SWEET DEALS. But you have decided to deal out the best cards in your hand and pushed all your chips into the middle. People in the real world don't play the bluff. They have more at stake here than you do (their own money). You played like you wanted to go for broke and then left the table as if you were too busy to see what happened with your hand. I guess when you play poorly, you already know the outcome. That's all folks, thanks for your attention. Fascinating, actually. 101. Mark Disclaimer: The good news is you still have a precious little amount of time left. BK now, save a primary residence. February 13th, 2007 at 2:03 pm "Anybody going down the the foreclosure auction tomorrow?? Think about it Casey, if BK was permitted under FRAUD, then all people would have to do is to steal money from banks (like you and your wife did) then file BK and have the debt erase while you keep the money. See why they wont let you do it? 53. Mister Gash If I don't catch them up sooner or later the debt will get sold to collectors and/or they will try to collect in court. At that point I may have to seek bankruptcy protection or go under the radar somehow. There is a small chance I can work out some kind of a forbearance agreement and get my payments lowered. 54.

PVC If someone lies about their situation to get you to give them the dough, you've been defrauded. Even if they INTEND to pay it back, the truth is they are not in a good position to pay it back, and if they told you the truth, you wouldn't give them the money and they know it. Their intention may have been to pay it back, but their intention was also to defraud you out of the money.

Get a clue. You're probably going to be facing a $75,000 dollar bill from the IRS. They aren't going to give you any type of deal. You can't BK your way out of it. You certainly can't avoid them forever. Your other debts will be nearly as bad. That decision has been made for you the second that house sells at auction. Read up on the new BK laws. A refinance of any type means you give up your right to have those debts discharged. 68. bobby If you followed some people advice + get two jobs, you could've stayed as a RE investor. Why the change? 7. akula If you listen to any advice on this forum listen to the one people keep screaming at you "Move into one of your houses and try to save it as a primary residence" otherwise we'll have to look forward to future posts of yours like "Maybe I should have saved one house instead of being a hard headed jerk" or "My wife keeps screaming at me she is tired of living the rest of her life in rented apartments". I know we'll get this one "The IRS looted my checking, AGAIN". 105. Jimmy C You fell for scam after scam getting you to pay thousands of dollars for the pleasure of learning $70 worth of material, presumably because when dry legalese is accompanied with promises of "You'll get rich!", it becomes more valuable. Casey, get your (insert bad word here) together and deal with the properties BEFORE two or three days out. You had problems with Texas because you sat on your hands until the day before, you had one lucky break that bought you a month in CA and now NM you have no runway left. You should've gotten a second job! You had so many chances. 70. Mister B If you see an option beyond this, please explain to us. Utah (5) 71. C If you want to see how a foreclosure auction works, why don't you go to one locally? You can pretend it's your own and see how much you learn. Alternatively, you can just wait for one of your local properties to be foreclosed and learn then, but that would delay the value of this knowledge that I'm sure you'd apply in some meaningful way.

Wow, dude! You're sinking faster than the Titanic. February 13th, 2007 at 2:10 pm "I also wonder if the lenders ALWAYS pursue a deficiency judgment or if sometimes they don't bother with it. Anybody know?" With this many sources of debt it's also very, very hard to keep a mental picture of your running total. When will you come out of the FOG and get a "job", whether it is w-2 or not. You say you have a job, well why can;t you pay your bills and rent on time. I think the reason is because you just don't care.

We mutually invested money into a co. in the dot com era. He lost 16 million and I lost $160,000 (a lot of money for me then). Although not proven it's pretty certain he committed various frauds as the financial director of the co. Today he's ill, struggling to make ends meet (he loved credit cards like you and your wife seem to) and desperately avoiding BK (and has been for about 3 years). I personally believe that if he had gone into BK he'd be better off - why? - because it would have been taken out of his hands and he could have moved on with less stress and would be in a certain place rather than uncertain place. In a way he would have paid back the karma. 85.

That's a respectable thing to do. I've never NOT repaid a loan in my life. I don't want to just weasel out of it via a short sale and bankruptcy. BK will allow an interested third party to get involved and actually help you. So far your efforts have resulted in foreclosures. Forget about your credit. What do you think five foreclosures and multiple collections are doing to your credit? We're talking about your life and your future here. You are correct. You can't even being to pay what you owe on you 8, err, 7, err, 6 and declining rapidly houses. That is irrelevant thought. You're way, way, way past making mortgage payments. Your $20K/month burn rate will decrease as your houses are foreclosed upon. You're still going to have many, many other expenses thought, and they won't be small.

You haven't sold a single home in six months. You haven't improved the curb appeal of a single home in six months. You almost blew the one success you had being the Utah wrap. And you wasted more borrowed money going to that b.s. NR "college" in AZ. February 14th, 2007 at 12:28 pm From a previous poster: You need to file for BK to save your butt and your wife's. These forclosures are only going to pile up more debt owed on your credit report. We are not talking about Credit Card Debt of a few thousand dollars but thousands and thousands of dollars you will NEVER pay back. 89. Casey Serin In the meantime, you have spent a small fortune on Jamba Juice and Maccaroni Grille, $5,000 for a car and unaccounted amounts on silly RE courses. If you were serious about paying back money you owed, you would have forgone these extravagances and given the banks some more "dirty" pennies of the payments you owe. (You might think the dirty penny thing raises a question about the cleanliness of the pennies when the bank gave them to you.). Cut the guy a little slack.

Casey Serin It appears to be a very short distance from your house there. Just a few minutes past it. With non-recourse, the banks can't come after you for the balance (deficiency judgment), but the bank WILL declare the loss and you will be charged for loan forgiveness as income. The reasons why the banks WILL declare the loss is that it allows the banks to offset any earned income with losses (net) and thereby reduce the taxes that the bank is responsible for. I mentioned that you needed to track costs here to find a way to show a capital RE loss to offset this income. (keep all records) 95.

My first advice to him said declare bankruptcy. I'm not the type of person to rush to judgment without knowing all the facts. Once I spoke to him, I did reach some conclusions. Common Loan Fraud Schemes A debt instrument wherein the lender can legally require repayment of a loan from personal funds if the collateral is not sufficient to repay the note. As opposed to a NON-RECOURSE LOAN where the lender can only obtain compensation from the collateral or funds of the business. I've been thinking up a creative solution I think you will be pleasantly surprised with Totally Win/win and obviously a sweet deal very sweet! Ok so work the numbers out with me as we go Then you wanted to pay it back because it was the right thing to do. Now that push comes to shove, you only want to do the right thing if it doesn't inconvenience you - or require you to earn a living. This will take you seven to ten years, which is about how long bankruptcy and foreclosure would trash your credit for. At the end, you'll know you worked hard to pay back every dirty penny, and you actually succeeded.

Last point: I've been to foreclosure auctions on the court-house steps and you should save your money. It's a 10-second event, and hardly sexy.

You couldn't resist getting cash back at closing. You took the money and decided you were rich. You were not. You laughed at people like me who aren't "financially free" like Robert Kiyosaki told you to be. You took a trip to Hawaii. And do you know why this is so? Loads O Money And here was Casey's reply: Look at the bright side: That bank has bird-dogged a SWEEEET foreclosure deal in New Mexico for you! OOOPS! Now, you owe them ANOTHER $500.00! AND MORE! Look, I believe you that you fully intended to pay back the banks and whoever else, AS LONG AS (and you were crossing your fingers behind your back here) you made the very large profits you were expecting from your flipping. Good things are coming And so is Santa F. Clause Here's the answer to the question about your 2nd position lender: And THAT, me lad, means that your life is going to be a Living Hell. He's had time to work his way out of this and hasn't done it. And what will not working get you? Home Buyers And yes this month we didn't have enough to pay her credit cards so she will probably get a 30 day late if she hasn't already. That part sucks Honestly, with so many foreclosures being seemingly inevitable, I must say with brute force: February 13th, 2007 at 8:50 pm Casey, And yes this month we didn't have enough to pay her credit cards so she will probably get a 30 day late if she hasn't already. That part sucks but it's better than borrowing from Peter to pay Paul like I've done in the past in order to float her payments. We talked about it. It's all good. House eventually goes to foreclosure. G should have been calling bullshit on him and his crazy scam from the beginning if she had any idea about what he was really doing.

Did you send out ONE single resume? Just one? Type of Document: Trust Deed Get the foreclosures done, file BK, and start over. But even if you did condition your pledge, this is contemptible. It would be saying, in effect, that you solemnly committed to repaying "every dirty penny" as long as you can do it in a way that remains relatively comfortable for you, and doesn't require too much sacrifice. As long as someone will magically refinance your debt, the market resumes its flipper-driver upward march and you can repay those dirty pennies without too much of a hit to your lifestyle or your self-conception-well, heck, you're good to go. And you want your readers to applaud you. Angry? Not quite. It doesn't affect me at all. However, the fact of the matter if you haven't made a dime since you quit your w-2 job. In fact, you're several hundred thousand in debt and have made a huge mess of your life. However saying that I believe you are still "rich" - you're healthy, have family, your youth and many other things money can't buy. Why then - do you want to be monetarily rich? If you can find it in the library read "Busting Loose from the Money Game - Bob Scheinfeld" - the principle lesson I learnt from that book is that reality is somewhat of a mirage - it's only what our consciousness perceives - and that we are literally in a game - the game of life. Although I don't agree with a lot of the book (in particular the rather odd view Bob has of our friends and family!) it has helped me feel more relaxed and less stressed about financial issues. Why do you keep ignoring my comments, truth hurts? Casey - you live in a spare room at your inlaws house, you can't even make the utility payments and minimums on your credit cards, you owe millions of dollars, and you are a healthy young man who could clearly go work more than one job to provide for his wife and pay back even a little bit of what it owed.

But a criminal record is a distinct possibility. February 13th, 2007 at 5:56 pm you should have called this blog "iamdeferringbankrupcy.com." the fact is you've chosen foreclosures before bankrupcy rather than doing it all right once, through a court settlement among your creditors. instead of asking a judge to divide your assets, you want to steeply erode your position for a year or two more first, and simply let luck determine which bank gets screwed most. then when your "homes" are all gone you'll have so much debt that you are compelled to declare bankrupcy anyway. throughout this process you won't get a job to offset losses, and your skills will erode, so you'll experience marginal employability, making the bankrupcy an obvious last step to a long string of utterly unnecessary and inappropriate "attempts" to pull your balance sheet out of the fire. when in fact you should decide on bankrupcy today, file tomorrow, and get a job the next day. that would be the virtuous thing to do for your creditors, and the healthy thing for you and your family. the fbi needs to realize that letting you run around eroding the bank assets (unoccupied properties, ballooning debts you will never repay) is doing them a disservice. in fact i'm baffled the banks haven't begged the fbi to take you in, if only to strike a deal wherein you declare bankrupcy in exchange for state leniency. maybe they think you'll win the lottery. dunno.

I am Facing Foreclosure Fan Mail February 13th, 2007 at 5:34 pm Casey is right about one thing, people. A real estate lawyer can't save him now. The best thing a bankruptcy lawyer could do at this point is to negotiate on Casey's behalf with his creditors to work out forebearance and repayment agreements. But because Casey has borrower money from so many different lenders, even that is unlikely to make much progress. If Casey doesn't go belly-up before summertime, it'll be a modern-day miracle. Attorneys Say Corporate Credit is OK, Need a Plan I asked them if I will be responsible for a deficiency (In some states the lender can sue me for the money lost during the foreclosure sale and obtain a deficiency judgment).

It's just an alternative way California has chosen of handling these issues. It used to be infrequent and the court proceedings protracted, but no longer because the courts are fed up with the caseload of these foreclosures and are simplifying the proceedings, and loan companies want their money or the right to state on their profit-loss statements that they have court-ordered judgements for X amount of money.

You have said previously that you have nothing against a typical job so long as it pays well and you enjoy it.
