110: Meta Learning, Florida Foreclosure & The FAT Tax

Note MBA

First off, Chase wants everyone to join us in wishing Robert a belated Happy Birthday as he celebrated yet another wonderful year on this earth this past week!

To kick things off from there, Robby and Chase discuss a recent Facebook challenge that Robby has taken on with a friend of his, Eric Harding. The challenge involves being more in tune with your health, proper alcohol intake & a “fat tax.” The rules dictate that everyone will be their accountability partners so to speak and anyone who discovers Robert or Eric having a sip of alcohol before March 5th will be paid $250.

On a quick side note, an awesome fundraiser that we'd love for you to check out involves a fellow note investor. It's a GoFund Me for a friend who’s son has some type of genetic disease. Also, Robby will be headed to Haiti at the end of February with another note investor, Scott Dilley. It's for the charity organization Children First. Go check out their Facebook page, and if you're able to they could always use a donation.

Next up, they get into a deal in Florida where the borrowers had their Chapter 7 discharged and they quit claimed the property into a trust setup to hold the property. While Robby was foreclosing on the property, for whatever reason, the judge allowed the new title holders who were put in place through quit claim after the complaint had been filed to become a party to the foreclosure case. Basically what this means is that they were allowed to be active in the case, but the judges order allowing them entrance into the case stated they weren’t allowed to do anything to delay the case which is exactly what they did by occupying the property. It was a ton of back and forth with Robert’s attorneys in South Florida, Harris Howard of the Howard Law Group, that ended up with 7k in legal bills and multiple motions being filed where they negotiated a $2,500 payout to take possession of the property in a cash for keys type scenario.
