My Home is in distress are there really White Knights out there?

Rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, most likely it is………There are scams all over the place right now and the scammers are all over those who are in desperate situations looking for some light and hope.

1-NEVER pay an upfront fee to someone who states they are going to help you. NEVER.

(only exception is if YOU contact an attorney for advice)

2-DO NOT SIGN documents without legal consultation. DO NOT SIGN documents without legal consultation.

3-DO NOT be taken in by those who state they have a pre foreclosure buyer who will submit an offer to your lender so you can find out exactly what the lender will take and then the buyer cancels their purchase offer so the agent can place the house on the market.  You are about to be taken down the road of fraud.

4-DO SPEAK WITH  a Real Estate Tax Attorney and/or CPA before making a decision to either do a Short Sale or to let your home go into foreclosure.
