They are also known as Landauction.com, National recreation properties, and East LLC.
They are big time scammers.
They have found a way to get around real esate laws.
Here is what happened to me:
Last year I bought 10 acres in potter valley, mendocino county. I received GPS coordinates and driving instructions on where the proeprty was located.
I went and looked at it, it was nice and flat.
I went back and bid 33,000. To bad someone else already owned the one I saw. Turns out mine was miles away on the tip of a moutain and completely inaccesable. Not by roads, but by marijuana farmers who had taken over the land decades ago. When we went to find the real proeprty we were sited for trespassing. I contacted a real estate attorney.
Turns out that this land had been abonadoned decades ago and the people using it actually have rights to it. If I even wanted to look at the land I bought it was going to cost me 20,000. for a lawsuit.
For months they lied to me. They said they didn't buy it at a tax lien sale. They did for 1000. Then they sold it 3 or four different times collecting down payments from people and then taking the land back if they are late on a payment, and then reselling it at the next auction. They didn't record the sales. They didn't have to do a forclosure because they never transferred title. This may be how they skirt some rules.
They didn't tell people that land had no access. They changed the brochure in the last year.
I have some phone numbers and addresses if anyone wants them.
You are right, they are scammers. I can't imagine how many thousands of dollars they have taken from people on limited incomes. That way they have less of a chance of getting sued.
I have physical disability that keeps my budget so that a lawsuit is out of the question. So I just take the loss and keep quiet and they keep stealing people money.
