I’m busy today so I can’t publish my usual long analytical article. But one thing that is constantly staring at me is the fact that the national press and news releases are in basic conflict with local media. And the fact that local media is going out of business isn’t helping. Black Knight is a […]
So a friend of mine left her phone in my car. Here is what I wrote to her: Thank you for leaving your phone in my possession, which as you know is 9/10s of the law. That means that even though you paid for it and you received ownership from the seller, I can now […]

PSA ≠ Trust Agreement: The “Bare Naked Title” Trap Driving Modern Foreclosures TL;DR: A Pooling & Servicing Agreement (PSA) is not a trust agreement.
