This was sad for me to watch, because it sounded like to me they were looping anyone and everyone who did lease options or owner financing together as crooks, which just isn't the case. Some of us are really here to help people get in to the dream of home ownership.
If you didn't read my first blog about this, I suggest you read it before you watch the news video from KPTV. Here is the link to that blog.
Here is a link to the video by KPTV. I think they did a good job, but I wish they had expanded and interviewed some other companies that do this, to find out that there are legit companies out there who really do want to help people. http://www.kptv.com/video/15109377/index.html?taf=ptl1
I have sent an e-mail to KPTV and gave them links to some of my blogs on how home owners and home buyers can protect themselves with lease options and owner financing. I really hope the call me for an interview.
Here are the links to the articles I sent them.
