I Got Scammed in Real Estate Deal — What To Watch for and How To Avoid My Fate
The real estate industry is rife with scams, given the huge amounts of money involved in buying and selling it. I'm a Realtor: Check Out: One of the most common themes? Induced urgency combined with an upfront fee or deposit. 'Fraudsters are fond of making things urgent, and then asking you to cough up money,' explained Mark Sanchez, Senior Real Estate Manager at Gator Rated. 'Never neglect to do due diligence.' After polling real estate professionals, these three stories stood out as scams and red flags to avoid. Seller-Provided Inspection Documents In one of his real estate transactions, Sanchez encountered a house that seemed like a great deal at first. After taking a closer look at the basement however, he grew concerned about foundation problems. 'The seller never informed me about the foundation issues, and then when I started asking questions, they provided bogus inspection reports to hide the damage. 'When something seems wrong or like it is too good to be true, go with your instincts,' he continued. 'Bring in a third party inspector that will pick through the whole property. A few hundred dollars spent on such an inspection may save you tens of thousands of dollars later.' For You: Fake Condo Development Today, Fred Loguidice is a seasoned real estate investor and founder of Sell My House Fast Wisconsin. However, early in his career, he lost five figures in a development scam. He explained, 'A colleague I knew — or at least thought I knew — approached me with a 'can't miss' deal on a pre-construction condo in a seemingly up-and-coming area. The price was significantly below market value, and they painted a picture of massive returns within a short timeframe. There was a sense of urgency, a limited-time offer that I had to jump on quickly.' 'Everything seemed legitimate on the surface,' Loguidice continued. 'There were contracts, fancy brochures, even virtual tours of the planned development. But as the months went buy, Loguidice said that excuses including permitting delays, material shortages and more began to mount, and progress stalled. 'My colleague became increasingly difficult to reach, and other investors I connected with online were experiencing the same issues,' he elaborated. 'I hired a lawyer to look into the development, and it turned out the original plans were never fully approved, the developer had a shady history, and the 'limited-time offer' was just a pressure tactic.' Fortunately, Loguidice said since he acted relatively quickly on seeking out legal guidance, he was able to recover some of his deposit after a long legal process. Even so, it cost Loguidice a lot of time, money and sleepless nights. Fake Lender Real estate investor Brian Rudderow of HBR Colorado sometimes transfers contracts to investor buyers. Investors who buy fixer-uppers often fund them with hard money loans. 'I mistakenly referred a buyer to someone posing as a hard money lender on LinkedIn,' he said. 'The lender asked my buyer for a $10,000 good faith deposit.' This was, of course, a red flag in itself — lenders earn their fees at closing, not before. 'I was unaware of this, and had no chance to warn the buyer,' Rudderow went on 'They sent in the deposit and never heard from the 'lender' again. I called the bank where the money was wired, but the manager refused to give me any information because it was a violation of customer privacy.' Bottom line: Before you open your proverbial wallet, do your due diligence.

Jeanine Pirro says current DC justice system 'isn't cutting it' as Trump takes federal control
At the center of President Donald Trump's takeover of Washington, D.C.'s policing stands a familiar face: Jeanine Pirro. Once a regular fixture on "The Five," Pirro is now wielding federal power as the U.S. attorney for D.C., tasked with turning Trump's promise of "Liberation Day" into reality. In her words, "the first order of government is the protection of its people," and she intends to make D.C. that shining city on a hill once again. "[President Trump] wants to make D.C. safe and beautiful and part of my appointment here by the president was to follow through on that initiative, and the federalization of the Metropolitan PD is something that I think is a great thing and the agenda is very clear," she shared on 'My View with Lara Trump' over the weekend. "We want to make D.C. safe again." Pirro defended Trump's measure, stressing that it protects citizens' rights rather than eroding them — a direct rebuttal to critics on the left. She pointed to juvenile crime as a major pillar of reform, arguing that too many serious offenses are shuffled into family courts. In her words, the current system of rehabilitation, including "yoga" and "ice cream socials," simply "isn't cutting it" when violent teens are walking free. "If I have a 17-year-old who shoots someone with a gun, but he doesn't kill that person, I cannot... prosecute them, investigate them. It goes to the family court. The mission there is rehabilitation… and that just isn't cutting it with me or anyone else who's a law enforcement professional," she said. "For 30 years, I have fought the fight to make sure that we make criminals accountable and that we protect the victim. We are not doing enough to protect the victims in D.C." She argued that the crisis is hitting minority communities the hardest, noting that dozens of young African-American lives have been cut short in the past year and a half, with most cases unsolved. "We haven't arrested them, we haven't taken the guns from them, and that's what the president understands, and that is my mission." Pirro, on Sunday, pointed to the early results of Trump's initiative, which she says are already measurable: hundreds of arrests, dozens of illegal firearms seized, and fentanyl taken off the streets, in just the first week. At the same time, she dismissed protests erupting outside the White House as little more than political theater. "They should kiss the ground at this point that you've got someone who wants to make this city safe again, who wants to make it clean again," she told "Fox & Friends Weekend," warning that demonstrations disguised as "music festivals" were little more than a re-branding of crime. "But here's what the president's going to do: he's going to make a difference. We're going to change the laws," she added.
