I KNOW Them - when the FBI comes knocking

Sadly enough the FBI is pressing charges against a mother and daughter team in my local area.  They were living in Manteca, which is 5 miles away.  They had a buyer in who bought MY TRACY Listing.

I can't tell you how many time I've heard -- "OH WOW, I knew them, I did business with THEM."

Their offence - putting people into loans they could not afford, promising a loan modification after the first payment was made... then they would disappear.

It is such a black eye on our industry.

It also begs the question - should you do loan and sell real estate.

I know my personal opinion is NOPE, too much potential for a conflict of interest. 

I'd love to hear your opinion on this.
