Real Estate SCAMS Alert!

You’ve seen them or heard about them, perhaps you’ve been solicited by
a promoter to make such an “Investment”. Scammers often lure in their
prey with promises of Extraordinary Returns on their Investments.

While it is VERY possible to generate Above average Rates of Return with
Real Estate or Real Estate Related Investments. Performing proper
Due Diligence is imperative before making such investments.

Real Estate Fraud is a serious offense, and you can endure HUGH losses
because of it. Like any other types of fraud, Real Estate fraud is unfortunate,and even the most astute parties can become Targets.

This month we will Touch on a Number of
Ways to Thwart being Scammed.

You will also learn about the 7 Common Real Estate Related Scams and most importantly How to Avoid them!

LOCAL BAY AREA REAL ESTATE MYSTERY…
We also have a guest speaker; Phil Barber, a Local Bay Area investigative journalist who through his dogged persistence broke a Major Story involving a $400 Million Dollar Real Estate Empire involving two long time friends and partners who may not be WHO they represented they WERE and are now seeing their Real Estate and Business Empire and promises made to many of their investors unraveling.

About Phil Barber:
Phil Barber has spent 21 years at The Press Democrat. For most of that time, he was a sports reporter and columnist. Barber joined the PD’s news team early in the pandemic and wound up embracing the new challenge. His investigative subjects have included the history of forced sterilizations at the Sonoma State Home institution, and a Subway franchisee who owned 14 Bay Area restaurants and stole at least $500,000 in wages from his employees. He first profiled the
Tim LeFever/Ken Mattson real estate empire in March 2023. Though at that point the duo were more mysterious than nefarious, Barber’s reporting put him in prime position to break recent news on the partnership’s unfolding downfall. He is a native of the Sacramento Valley, a UCLA graduate and father of four adult daughters.
