I should have known better.
I should have known better than to have gotten involved with
a bunch of shysters like Brian Payton &Ying Payton.
I should have known better to have bought into the garbage
ideas and promises of 10%, 15% or 20% returns that ATW Investments (American dream renovations and construction)
propounded.
I knew the trouble I was in when ATW Investments transferred
their clients to Trinidad LLC.
I wish one day to get my hands around the neck of Brian
Payton, that would be an interaction that I’d very much enjoy having.
If anyone has encountered these
shysters all you need to do is look at the number of threads to realise that
these ball lickers are worthless pieces of crap – worthless pieces of crap on
the best day they have ever had. That’s means they're shit, literally shit.
Unfortunately I found myself taking a risk in
the same way that you run the risk in a casino, with the idea that losing in a
casino is much, much more likely than a real estate investment.

How Texas does this look!?!
My properties, like all the other
ATW investors that had been promised ‘Property Management Services’ on their
investments, took an almighty dive into oblivion from 40,000 feet. The buyers
of my property didn’t make a single payment,
property taxes on the property had not been paid, the properties were
utilised for whom knows what reason – it looked in the end that squatters had
utilised it for their own bong block parties. I mean these properties had been brutalised.
The legal trail of ownership was so convoluted that the chain of owners, for
some time, did not easily find its way to me and I spent countless months
nervously thinking about a financial debacle, that really, I should not of
entered in the first place aside from my mental desire for the want of ‘things to be ok’.
My failure, which I have to call out, is that I didn’t undertake an due diligence and I was stung fiercely. I still now have strong desires to take these two down legally, but I’ll save that for another day.

Now, lets get back to San Antonio for a moment.
A major city in the south-central Texas has a rich colonial heritage. The Alamo, an 18th-century Spanish mission preserved as a museum these days, marks an infamous 1836 battle for Texan independence from Mexico. I didn’t have time to see that.

Yup, I owned THIS place for a few months....promises for renovation work NOT COMPLETED, promises to market my property, NOT DONE, promises to Manage my property, as in, for ATW to provide a service for their clients... NOTHING
All you did Brian Payton was rip me off!

I was an San Antonio for a 5 day
boot camp for ATW Investments to show me buildings that had been repossessed, I assume after
foreclosure, which ATW had acquired. When I say acquired, I believe
invested in an option to acquire, which in turn they would sell to investors
such as myself who would buy the property in cash and then, with the assistance
of ATW Investments, locate buyers who would purchase the property with a
capital gain and would a mortgage to me, the owner, at a rate higher than which
the banks would loan out funds…because these cats…these cool tenants, who weren’t
tenants but rather owners of the property, but in debt to me, would effectually
be paying me a rental. And the property managers, ATW investments, would look
after the property on my behalf…which of course immediately shows a logical
break. What is there position in a property that is owned not by me but by
someone else?

So 'apparently' this was sold, to me - which meant that when it was sold to me mortgage payment should have been made. This never happened, was never managed and the property, in the end, was completely trashed.
Brian Payton you are a fraud!

I f**ked up! I f**ked up out of a
desire to generate cash-flow for my family and in my want to believe that being caught out in a
scheme such as this happens to other people mostly through bad luck or bad management. I denied myself my
own intellect and need to investigate, and I denied myself the necessity of
doing the work to realise the flaws in an opportunity that was nothing more
than a blatant fraud, because, aside from my own negligence the real author of
destruction were those that perpetrated the fraud. Not just on me but to so
many.

…And this link to the heart of
the issue which shows the problem in Texas –
the foreclosure problem, as they call it, has grown to include issues of not properly assigning mortgage notes…and not being able to trace the line of ownership as the note is packaged and resold through a secondary market – and the allegedly phony documents created to reconstruct the line of ownership where its broken.

Personally I believe there’s a
ticking time bomb here, so watch this space.
Anyway, onto some lighter stuff now.

Anyway, onto some lighter stuff now.
I was driven around San Antonio and
Corpus Christi. I bought into San Antonio, twice. What I lost on that
investment would have allowed me to have purchased 2 Mustang Eco-boosts, the
car that I currently drive. So yeah, I could have had three in the garage.
What did I like about San Antonio?

Texas BBQ is legit. What they do
they do so well.
The San Antonio River Walk is
truly a gem, it’s marvellous. This outstanding tourist attraction is both a
city park and a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio river,
residing one story beneath the streets of San Antonio. Lined with bars, cafes,
shopping outlets, restaurants and public artworks, this is a real draw card and
quite an attractive feature in a large city that to me, has no real soul and
feels kind of empty.

The River walk winds and loops
under two bridges, had a number of tourist boats cruising up and down it, and at night comes alive with its attractive
lighting. Without question, THE highlight of San Antonio and would be the only
reason I’d ever utilise to make a return the city, and I’m not calling it out
as a bad city, it’s just not inspiring, it has no spirit…and it’s the home of a
couple of shysters who still need to be brought down a peg or two.
