I got an unsolicited phone call from Israel McDonald who represented Partners Choice Network which also goes under the name as Foreclosure Land Network, No Money Down Solutions and Home Consulting Services.
He pitched to me the idea that he could help me in my real estate investing venture. The company called Partners Choice Network has listings of foreclosed houses that were well below the fair market price. They also can pre-qualify me to receive loans or mortgages from financial institutions to pay for the houses I was interested in the Real Estate listing they provided.
This pre-qualification was supposed to save me money when I buy real estate foreclosures from their listing. I was to save money in such things as; banker fees, loan application fees, Realtor fees and commissions.
The purpose of Home Consulting Services is not to be a mortgage broker or a mortgage banker. Their purpose is to provide the consumer with information on how to purchase a home with little or no money down, credit reports, education information on the home buying process, general negotiating guidelines on how to pre-inspect a house to find potential defects, general steps included in the home-buying process and a national listing of resale properties.
The listing cost me $895 and the pre-qualification for loans cost me $499. I was also charged and additional $10 for something or another.
I go some Xerox guidelines on how to buy a house in the mail, but this information is available for free over the internet.
To this date I cant login their website to look at the listing using the user name and password they gave me. I called them at (877) 451-8778 and they directed me to the Foreclosure Land Network at (866) 743-1424 x200 or 277and always get a recording. I have left messages on their voice mail, emailed messages at [email protected] and [email protected] and faxed messages at (919) 865-0839 and havent received a response!
I called Israel McDonald on his cell phone at (770) 896-2602 and left a message on his voice mail and I never got a reply. Stay away from these crooked crooks. Theyre no good.
