After a standing-room only turnout to hear April Charney and Matt Weidner at the CONA September meeting, Foreclosure Mess 101, about the impact on our whole community, planning for Foreclosure Mess 102 has begun already. If you missed this first meeting, thanks to Michael Woodward and Will Franco (aka Flywheel) a video of the speakers has been posted to YouTube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFGhx2m_qBo&feature=player_embedded and, a week after the meeting, the views already are close to 700.
A few days after our meeting, April Charney was interviewed by Gretchen Morgenson of the New York Times for her article, https://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/16/business/a-florida-condo-sale-and-a-markets-dysfunction-fair-game.html?_r=2
Here is a link https://sarasotanewsleader.com/cona-speakers-sound-the-foreclosure-alarm/ to Stan Zimmermann’s article on the CONA meeting and at the bottom is a link to the video as well as some discussion by an attorney in California was posted in the comments following the article.

Matt,
Can you possibly coordinate a seminar in the panhandle? There is just as much fraud here as there is in mid and south Florida. With only a handful of us here that are ‘in tune’ to the fraud, it is difficult to reach everyone and the lawyers that are capable of assisting in this mess. We have several newly elected Clerks of Court that will be taking over our land records in January and only 1 knows about this mess – and he only knows because I alerted him to it prior to elections.
If we are going to win in this fight, some areas need the help of professionals, such as you, April, Ice Legal, etc, to inform our communities, lawyers, and judges that the fraud is EVERYWHERE…not just Orlando and south.
Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton County would be a great start.
