Rent to Own Nightmares (and How You Can Avoid Them)

!±8± Rent to Own Nightmares (and How You Can Avoid Them)

With the downturn of the economy and the fact that the banks are no longer lending to many people, home buyers and sellers have resorted to another strategy than the traditional approach. It's called "Rent to Own", also known as "Lease Purchase" or "Lease Option", and it is basically an arrangement between a buyer without stellar credit and a seller that the buyer may rent the home from the seller until the buyer can qualify to buy the home. While this sounds great for both parties, there are a wide variety of Rent to Own agreements that can end up putting one of the parties in quite a messy situation.

It is not always the buyer, often called a "tenant buyer," with the credit problems that is at fault, but the seller can also put the buyer and their living situation in peril.

Here are some of the most outrageous Rent to Own stories that I have heard of:

- The home is foreclosed upon and the tenant buyer does not even know.

The tenant buyer has made all of the payments on time, has taken care of the property and is well on their way to reaching a qualifying credit score but the seller hasn't been making the mortgage payments but pocketing the money. Usually, the tenant buyer is paying above the actual mortgage amount, so when the home is foreclosed upon, they have not only lost their home, the ability to buy the home, but also the additional money paid every month.

- The tenant buyer slips up just once on the lease agreement and the seller claims the tenant buyer cannot buy the home and has to forfeit the down payment and rent payments.

The tenant buyer makes one payment late or violates a clause on the lease agreement and the seller refuses to honor the purchase agreement on those grounds, thus leaving the tenant buyer with no way to buy the home and no way to get a refund on the down payment or rent credits for the period leased.

- The tenant buyer brings a down payment to the table with the understanding they will rent to own the home but the seller backs out and keeps the money.

The seller, or the person facilitating the agreement between the buyer and the seller, takes the down payment from the seller but either backs out or does not complete the agreement to properly put the tenant buyer in the home. This leaves the potential buyer without a down payment to put on another property, at a minimum, but could have also been their life savings. In this case, the seller or the person facilitating the agreement may be sued, and at the very least have their reputation destroyed.

- The seller does not actually own the property and the tenant buyer has been making payments on a fraudulent lease and agreement.

In areas of high vacancies, such as Las Vegas, Nevada, scammers have been known to rent out homes that are in foreclosure and usually do a rent to own deal to get the additional down payment and avoid speculation from professionals. The tenant buyer is then unwittingly in a home the "seller" has no legal right to sell or occupy, so when the foreclosure goes through and the tenant buyers are served eviction papers, they have no ability to fight the eviction or get any money back.

- The tenant buyer falls on financial trouble again and can't buy the home or make the payments.

If a tenant buyer has financial trouble, the chances are that they could fall on it again. This leaves the seller with a renter with no ability to cash out on their property and they are still on the hook for the mortgage. Then they usually have to evict the renter and put it back on the market for sale, lease or rent to own. However, in this situation, because the tenant buyer has put more money into renting the property and the seller wants to evict them, the property is usually trashed in the process. So the seller is left to make repairs as well.

- The tenant buyer decides they don't like the home, neighborhood or schools and leaves the home without notifying the seller with sufficient time or leave it trashed.

Sometimes people pick a house too quickly and aren't completely committed to a home, area or become displeased with the schools. They chose to vacate the house without properly notifying the owner, which may also result in the property being left in subpar conditions.

So how do you, whether you're a seller or a buyer, protect yourself in a Rent to Own agreement? Take these precautionary steps to make sure you do not become a casualty of a Rent to Own nightmare.

- Set up an escrow account with an escrow company and ensure that the company is making the owner's mortgage payments and there is a record of every payment. This will also require the buyer to make payments to the escrow account, which avoids the whole "Check got lost in the mail" excuse. A third party handling the payments also allows the seller to be hands off the collection of lease payments and the buyer to not feel like they still have a landlord.

- Make sure that there is a safety net clause in the lease agreement. For instance, if a payment is late, the buyer has 30 days to make the payment or notify the seller they are forfeiting the purchase option. Also double check the lease for any frivolous excuses for release of contract if violated.

- Ensure that the agreements are all executed with witnesses and at the escrow company when money exchanges hands. When making a down payment, make sure it goes directly into an escrow account on record so that the buyer gets credit for it towards the purchase price. Also, understand that if you are using a facilitator, that the fees are agreed upon prior to payment. It is also helpful to make sure there haven't been any claims filed against the seller or the facilitator.

- Verify that the seller is the owner on the deed of the property. This can be done online at any county's assessor office by looking up the property address and checking the owner's name against the seller. If you're using a company, to help facilitate the agreement, simply verify with the seller that the company has the rights to Lease Option the property. For Colorado Springs, El Paso County Assessor can be found here: http://land.elpasoco.com/

- Use a third party to help credit check and verify the tenant buyer to ensure that they are not a repeat offender for things like collections. This one is a difficult one to avoid if you are doing a Rent to Own on your own. Some facilitators have a program set up for all of the tenant buyers to ensure they are on the right track and there are fail safes in place if in case they run into financial issues again.

- Properly vet a potential tenant buyer. This means having them bring a substantial enough down payment, making sure they understand if they leave they forfeit the down payment, and not rush people into making a decision. Giving buyers a few days to look over their finances with a professional, walk the property and look over all the documents (lease, purchase option, various disclosures etc.) to make sure they understand them.

And last but certainly not least, ALWAYS use an attorney if you have your own documents or go through a reputable company that has Attorney approved documents. Because of the risk of doing a Rent to Own as a seller, I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND using a third party company, to help facilitate the agreement to ensure full disclosures, protections and a verified quality arrangement for both seller and tenant buyer.

How To Find Hidden Treasure

!±8± How To Find Hidden Treasure

Where can you find hidden treasure? Almost anywhere. How can you find it? Here are some new ideas on that.

I was once involved in tearing down an old house. In the attic, hidden underneath the insulation, I found a glass piggy bank of old pennies. I also found a rare old magazine and a few other minor treasures.

Treasure is not always things of obvious value, though. Hidden in the walls of that house was a treasure that at the time never occurred to me: copper tubing. I later discovered that the water lines we paid to have hauled away were sold as valuable scrap by the junk man. It made me wonder what else could be "treasure," and where else I might find it.

New Ideas On Hidden Treasure

Hidden in a warehouse in the small town where I used to live, was a mountain of old boxes. It was the leftover inventory of a wooden clock factory that had gone out of business. The owner of the clocks had let them sit there for at least ten years. Finally someone explained to him how he could sell them on Ebay, and he realized the treasure he was sitting on.

An old Mayan Indian we met at a hot spring in Arizona showed us how to find arrowheads and metates (used for grinding corn or mesquite beans) in the desert. They're hundreds of years old. He sold one of his metates for 0 during a yard sale, but this may be illegal now. Check with authorities on this one.

I have hidden money several times in my life. Many people do. What happens when people die unexpectedly? The money and valuables they hid remain where they are until discovered. There is an estimated several billion dollars in hidden currency alone in this country, and who knows how much in silver, gold, jewelry and other things. Here are some of the places people have discovered these hidden treasures.

- Under sinks (money).

- Hidden inside the pages of books (bills).

- Buried in crawl-spaces (all sorts of treasure).

- Above ceiling tiles.

- Buried under the edges of cement patios.

- In walls behind outlet plates.

- In pump houses.

- Under floors in sheds.

- In old heating oil tanks (coins).

- Under rocks in highway rest areas.

That last one is a favorite hiding place for drug dealers and other criminals who need to hide cash fast. If they never get out of prison, or die, the money waits for a treasure hunter to find it. Sometimes you just have to look to find hidden treasure.

Robbery and Small Business - How You Can Prepare

!±8± Robbery and Small Business - How You Can Prepare

How many times has it happened? The day is winding down, there are no customers in the place and with your eye on the clock-longest ten minutes you ever saw-you figure you can get a jump on closing down by vacuuming or even counting down the till. Just then the door opens and in walks a man you've never seen before. You sigh as your fantasy of getting out of there right at closing evaporates. As you put on the company-approved customer service smile and ask if you can help this newcomer, your words slide right down the barrel of the gun he's now pointing at you.

You are being robbed, apparently by someone who didn't hear that the city has a ban on handguns (I guess criminals don't watch the news). In fact, 4.9% of all robberies are committed at the workplace, often with a firearm. Of course, that-along with the fact that it no longer really matters if your drawer balances-is all beside the point. You are being robbed. What are you going to do?

Warning! You Are Not Rambo

I write the following less as a business blogger and more as a long-time martial arts practitioner: Unless you are a fully-trained expert in unarmed combat with the kind of moves and reflexes that Bruce Lee could only dream about (and let's face it, if that was you, why would you be working here?), then fighting back while you have a gun in your face is not something I can recommend. True, your robber is probably every bit as nervous as you are and he might slip, his attention may wander, someone else may walk in, anything could happen that could let you take action in an altogether manly, Ramboesque fashion complete with gunfire, broken glass, blood splatters that would make Cezanne weep and highly-quotable catch-phrases, but there is no guarantee of it and you can't count on it. As long as he's got the drop on you, cooperation is the best way to go. Neither the money, nor the merchandise, are worth your life.

Still, there is a real problem with cooperation. The fact that you have to cooperate with the robber in the first place is a sign that your business really needs to upgrade both physical security and security procedures. Crooks should see your business as too hard a target and as a business owner; you owe it to your employees to make that happen.

Planning for Safety

The time for you as a business owner to consider what to do about a robbery is not when you are actually being robbed. At that point, it is really too late. You need to put measures in place and decide what to do before that ever happens and your employees need to be trained to make sure that everyone follows the plan.

Layout and Technology

You can do much to deter a robbery by the way your business is laid out and by the security technology you use. Take the typical neighborhood convenience store, for example. Walk in to one of these places and what do you see? It is cramped, closed-in, with little open space. This is the perfect environment for a stick-up man. There are plenty of places to hide and wait for the perfect moment; high displays around the service counter isolate the person working there while posters and other displays limit visibility from the street. This kind of environment favors the robber. If the police, cruising by this business, cannot see what is going on inside, how do they know when there is trouble? Major chains, like 7-11, have realized this and have taken action. Everything about their stores is about visibility: The product racks are about chest high, the windows and service desk are not obscured. There are no places to lurk and that makes for a safer work environment. Layout, however, is not the only way you can protect your employees. Some of the other technologies you can do include:

Alarms and Panic Buttons. One of the basic things you need is a robbery alarm with a panic button within easy reach of your counterperson. This should be a silent alarm since the last thing you want to do is panic the robber. Video Cameras. Keep a closed-circuit surveillance camera mounted behind the cash register and pointed at the front counter. Make sure that the faces of people standing at the counter are clearly visible and make sure that the tapes used to record the video are changed regularly. Desks and Lockers. Valuable personal items, purses and such should be secured in locked desks or lockers. Left out in plain sight, items such as these make tempting targets of opportunity for thieves. Safes. If you have cash on premises, then you need a safe. You want to keep as little in the cash registers as possible, so all excess money-especially big bills-should be dropped in the safe as soon as possible. More than that, a time-lock that the clerk cannot open will increase the overall safety offered by having a safe. The front door and the service counter should have signs reading: Clerk Cannot Open the Time Lock Safe. Lights and Mirrors. If there are blindspots, wide-angle mirrors visible throughout the premises can eliminate them. You want to see where people are at all times. Therefore, you also want your business as well-lit as possible. Burned out lights should be reported and fixed as soon as possible and external lights should be kept free of any obstruction.
Employee Training

Technology and architecture will only go so far in protecting your business from crime. For any of that to be effective, your employees have to understand how to act and conduct business as safely as possible. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, here are some things you and employees should do:

Handling Money. Your employees need to keep as little money available as possible and they need to be smart about how they handle it. Don't use obvious or marked "moneybags" that make it obvious to would-be robbers you are carrying money for deposit. Also, whoever is in charge of banking the money should vary the times and routes of travel to and from the bank. They should only use one cash register at night, leaving any other registers empty and open with the drawers tilted to show they are empty and make sure that in the evening-especially at closing-the drapes and blinds are only partially drawn so what is happening within can be seen from outside. The Buddy System. No one should work alone. Make sure that at least two employees open and close the business. Also, make sure that a coworker is either watching when one employee goes outside after dark to take out the garbage or clean up; or is out there helping. This is especially important after dark. Operational Security. This begins with awareness. Everyone should know who is in the business and where they are. Red flags include people hanging around without buying anything as well as anything suspicious going on outside. If you see a suspicious vehicle, try to write down the license number, color make and model from inside of your business and then let the police know. In fact, if you see anything suspicious, call the police. Don't try to deal with it yourself. Finally, never release any personal information on yourself or anyone who works with you to strangers. Customer Service. We all know how important good customer service is, but it can also help save you from a robber. Make sure your employees greet customers as they enter your business. They should look them in the eye and ask if they need help. Attention like this can easily discourage a robber. Keeping Clean. Maintaining a clean, tidy, well-ordered business is inviting to customers, but not to robbers, who tend to prefer more cluttered places. Also, having your employees dress neatly will also send the right message. Know Your Local Officers. One of the best things you and your employees can do to make your business unattractive to robbers is to encourage a relationship with the local beat cops. You should learn the names of your local officers and encourage them to visit your business. The more that happens, the less robbers will want to target your business.
The Bottom Line: What to Do If You Actually are Robbed

Even if you follow all the advice given here, there is always the chance that you could be robbed. If that does happen, there are some simple rules that you and your people should follow:

Cooperate with the Robber. This is for your own safety and the safety of others. You should comply with a robber's demands. Remain calm and think clearly. Make mental notes of the robber's physical description and other observations important to law enforcement officers. Do Not Speak. No one should speak with the robber except to answer specific questions. Don't Stare. Staring directly at the robber can make him think of you as a witness instead of a victim, which could put some very unfortunate thoughts into his head. Prevent surprises. The robber is nervous already so keep your hands in sight at all times; don't make any sudden moves and tell the robber if someone is coming out of the back room or vault or working in another area of your business. Leave It to The Professionals. Don't chase or follow the robber out of your place of business. Catching the crook is the job of the police. Remember: If the choice is between your money or your life, keep you life. You can always get more money!

eBay Safe Buying Tips

!±8± eBay Safe Buying Tips

It's important to remember that eBay is like an online flea market or swap meet. There will always be someone trying to sell things that most people wouldn't touch. The trouble is that online, when you can't physically view the merchandise, so these people can be a little harder to spot. Here are some tips to make your eBay experience more enjoyable and safe.

Know Your Seller...

This, by far, is the most important research you must do before placing your bid on eBay. Getting to know a little about your seller before you bid on their item will make for a much smoother purchase.

1) Review the seller's feedback and member profile.

Check the seller's eBay feedback before you make a bid. The feedback rating will give you a good idea about the trustworthiness of your trading partner. One or two neutrals or negatives can be overlooked due to the fickle nature of some buyers, however if a trend of poor service or item quality comments is visible you may want to avoid the seller entirely. If a seller has no feedback or negative feedback, contact the seller before bidding to get a feel for their customer service.

2) Ask the seller questions.

Email the seller with questions by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link. If you have won an item, you can request the seller's contact information to get more information.

3) Review the seller's policies on shipping, payments and returns.

Shipping and handling - Review shipping and handling charges before you bid, and ask to have your item shipped and insured in a traceable manner. Avoid sellers who either won't disclose or charge exorbitant shipping charges.

Payment - Consider paying with PayPal or with a credit card, as most offer 100% consumer protection. Be careful when sellers only accept one form of payment, especially when the seller requests cash. NEVER PAY WITH CASH and use caution when paying with cash equivalents such as wire transfers.

Returns - Examine the seller's return policy carefully before you bid. Contact the seller before you bid with any questions about the return policy. Some questions you might ask include how long do you have to return the item, who pays shipping and handling, and under what circumstances can you return the item.

Know your item...

Read the description fully. Most misunderstandings result from buyers not carefully reading the item description in the auction listing. Use caution if the price is significantly lower than similar auction items. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Review the item condition, whether it is new or used, and any damage described.

Be realistic when purchasing used items. People have different definitions of quality and condition. Remember, just because the seller says the item is in "like new" condition, doesn't mean you will feel the same way. A 25 year old item is likely to have some wear and tear so don't be overly critical of the item when you receive it. Take the condition of the item into account BEFORE you place your bid.

Use PayPal...

Take advantage of PayPal for safe and fast funds transfer between you and the seller. PayPal is eBay's preferred way to pay. It is a system that lets anyone with an email address securely send online payments using their credit card or bank account. eBay members can use PayPal to quickly and easily pay for all the items purchased on eBay. PayPal's industry-leading fraud prevention measures make it a safe way to pay online.

When you're shopping on eBay, look for items that are covered by PayPal Buyer Protection. With it, you get free protection of up to ,000.00 USD on your purchases. To determine if your item is eligible, look for PayPal Buyer Protection in the Seller Information box on the View Item page.

The more that you know about your seller and the items that you are bidding on the safer you, as a buyer, will be. Spending some time doing research before you place your bid will help to ensure a positive buying experience.

    Preventing the Danger and Liability of Workplace Violence

    !±8± Preventing the Danger and Liability of Workplace Violence

    Each week, roughly 17 people are murdered while on the job and 33,000 more are assaulted. This adds up to big liability for companies, not to mention tremendous heartache and pain. This high level of violence stems from on-the-job stress and increasing economic pressure. Your due diligence as an employer will not only protect the employees you value so much, but pay off in court should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of having to defend your business practices in a case of negligence. Here you will find some brief guidelines for identifying risk factors and preventing workplace violence.

    Risk Factor: High stress work environments

    Stressful environments alone are a risk factor for workplace violence. According to a survey by Northwestern National Life, 25% of employees view their jobs as the primary source of stress in their lives. When people feel trapped under pressure, they are more likely to react violently.

    Prevention:

    Stress related violence tends to have quite a few warning signs. It's critical to incorporate administrative processes and policies that allow employees to comfortably and anonymously report threats or aggressive behavior by other associates. Specific processes should be in place to track threats and assess their level of risk based on statistically proven guidelines.

    Risk Factor: Jobs that involve the exchange of money

    Any employee who exchanges money with the public is at a higher risk for workplace violence. Desperate and criminally-minded individuals learn how to target establishments that do not impose standard crime prevention techniques.

    Prevention:

    In addition to well enforced cash handling policies and emergency procedures, it's important to make your efforts to prevent workplace violence evidence to the public. Highly visible security cameras, security cash safes, and signs that alert customers of the employee's limited access to cash, all help to protect employees from violent robberies. The height of the counter also works as a subconscious and physical barrier between employee and customer.

    Risk Factor: Mobile Workplaces

    Delivery drivers, cab drivers, and other employees who work primarily alone from their vehicle are often targets of violence. Without an unpredictable environment and lack of a protective building structure, those who work from their vehicles can find themselves in any number of violent and threatening situations.

    Prevention:

    Having an accessible alert or panic button that employees can use to call attention to themselves is a good start for preventing mobile workplace violence. Installing GPS locators and implementing processes to identify and react to unusual driving behavior can be another useful crime prevention method. For some types of businesses or for coverage in high-risk areas, it can be beneficial to staff multiple employees on one shift with policies to ensure that these staffing procedures are consistently followed. Criminally minded opportunists often learn to spot inconsistencies and exploit weak points such as a single driver when there are normally two.

    The key to preventing workplace violence is a well thought out plan created from the point of view of the criminal. To reduce disasters from trial by error, it's important to train with or consult with criminal behavior and forensics specialists. There are various tools and training programs for employers to aid in preventing workplace violence created by experts who have studied the minds and routines of violent criminals for years are able to pick out patterns of behavior and reasoning.
