More evidence of extend and pretend


Internet maven and San Diego North County real estate guru “Jim the Realtor” has another post  showing us that extend and pretend is alive and well in the wonderful world of housing.

This guy received his first NOD in April, 2006, and has been working the system ever since.

Yesterday he listed the house on the MLS for the first time in almost two years with a broker out of the 916 area code.  With his next trustee sale date being January 14th (the original date was 4/9/09), his generous free-rent program must be winding down, and listing it for sale was a last-ditch effort to extend it further.

It doesn’t look like it’s been a humbling experience though, this is the main MLS photo:

Hopefully 2010 will be the end of the road for the crooks and deadbeats!
