paul florez, from your responses, it seems to me that the LA had the buyer already picked out from the get go, but had to “list” the property for a minute and a half to “appease” the SS (stiffed) lender in effort to make them more amenable to accepting a low offer.
Without looking at the record myself, I would have no way of knowing whether the buyer was related to the LA or LB. And even then, it is difficult to truly know. But it DOES appear that the buyer had an agreement with the LA to use her again in the quick-turnaround resale of the property for closer to its market price (for a quick profit).
Ask yourself why a buyer in October of 2009 would need a “short sale” three years later in a VERY established neighborhood less than three miles from dtn SD. And why would a lender be duped into such a scam (unless there was a structural problem discovered AFTER the 10/09 sale)?
