It's time to Rise&Shred! CFPB, Ocwen and Hispanic Homebuyers. The ONE and ONLY daily dairy of the mortgage industry. Join Jacob Gaffney and myself as we share what you need to know to SHRED this week.

It’s no secret that unmotivated employees can ravage a business. Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, nearly 70 percent of employees were less than enthusiastic about (and less than committed to) their work, costing U.S. businesses between $450 and $550 billion each year. Add in one worldwide pandemic, newly remote and anxious employees, and news of daily layoffs, and leaders are left to plead, “Now what?” as employees mentally check out. Though it’s tempting to blame homebound workers and current events for cratering employee engagement, the most significant cause of demotivation—despite everything above—are the managers and leaders themselves. CATHY BUSH, Ph.D., has spent decades investing in the development of leaders as an organizational psychologist, consultant, professor, coach, and author. She has worked with leaders around the globe to create the organizational cultures people love to work for—and clients love to work with—in a wide array of industries, including manufacturing, transportation, publishing, healthcare, retail, and banking. She is the co-author of the new book The Demotivated Employee: Helping Leaders Solve the Motivation Crisis That is Plaguing Business.  TARA PETERS, Ph.D., is a gifted educator, TED Talk speaker, bestselling author, and international consultant with a client list that includes Coca-Cola, Allstate, Walmart, and Ocwen. A professional educator for more than 26 years, she currently serves as a professor at Northwood University’s Richard DeVos Graduate School of Management and as academic dean for its Texas campus. She is the co-author of the new book The Demotivated Employee: Helping Leaders Solve the Motivation Crisis That is Plaguing Business. Topics During this interview, Cathy, Tara, and I discuss the following topics: The motivation and inspiration behind the bookHow employees go from motivated to demotivated How stress can impact an employee’s motivationHow to have an motivational organizational cultureHow conflict help sap motivation but can help the organization For the complete show notes be sure to check out our website: https://movingforwardleadership.com/158

Nick has been dealing with servicers throughout the last 10 years. Recently dealing with Ocwen loan servicing. He describes their current issues and how the pandemic has been effecting this sector of our market.

Two migrations and an acquisition led Ocwen, formerly PHH Mortgage, to move out of their physical datacenter and into the cloud quickly and with minimal change. In this episode, Jayaraman Vellore Sampathkumar, Solutions Architect at AWS, is joined by Sam Dotson, VP Technology Operations at Ocwen and Sean Kane, Sr. Account Executive at APN Partner, RoundTower. They will share their story of how they exited their datacenter, and what life is like for Ocwen in the cloud. https://aws.amazon.com/vmware/

• Demotivated employees were a problem before COVID; now what? • “One of the sources of demotivation … is stress” Total Recorded Time is 16:39 Demotivated employees were a $500 billion business crisis. Then Came COVID-19. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, by several measures between 60 percent and 70 percent of U.S. workers were less than enthusiastic their work, costing businesses between $450 and $550 billion each year. Add in one worldwide pandemic, newly remote and anxious employees, and news of daily layoffs, and leaders are left to plead, “Now what?” as employees mentally check out. Actually, this COVID pandemic might not be entirely a bad thing, if only worker productivity is considered – if business managers and leaders recognize the problem and take simple, cost-effective steps to bolster morale and perhaps even ignite a flame or two of enthusiasm, say Tara Peters and Cathy Bush, authors of the new book, “The Demotivated Employee: Helping Leaders Solve the Motivation Crisis That Is Plaguing Business” (Advantage Media Group; March 17, 2020). “Demotivation is not the opposite of motivation,” says Ms. Peters, an international consultant with a client list that includes Coca-Cola, Allstate, Walmart, and Ocwen and who currently serves as a professor at Northwood University's DeVos Graduate School of Management and as academic dean for its Texas campus. “We believe that leaders unintentionally demotivating their employees with their behaviors,” says Ms. Peters. Tara Peters goes into practical detail about fixing problems of demotivation in these CVBT podcasts.

Does The Thought of A Short Sale Scare You? I've been blessed with a unique vantage point. As a Real Estate Broker, I have had the opportunity to help hundreds of Tucson families sell their homes using a short sale. As a Realtor who represented some of America's biggest banks and debt servicers like Ocwen, OneWest, and DeutscheBank as an REO Agent, I've seen the devastation of foreclosure visited on families who were caught unawares by the market. Also, as a homeowner who has had to go through the process of going through a short sale. God has indeed seen fit to bless me to know how to answer these, and other important questions you might have about the short sale process... Is a Short Sale A Good Idea? How Long Does It Take For A Short Sale To Go Through? How Much Should A Buyer Offer On A Short Sale? What Does A Short Sale Mean For A Buyer? These questions, plus my experiences as an investor who has bought short sales, a seller who has sold a home using a short sale, a Realtor who has completed short sales and more all inside today's episode! #tucson #shortsale #KarlBuysHouses --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karlbuysho/message

I've been saving up stories of banks (and their attorneys) doing things that make no sense, or doing things that are plain dumb. For example: Wells Fargo arguing with me over getting paid $30 too much in a short sale. Opposing counsel requiring an affidavit to cancel a sale on a loan that was paid off in full. Deutche Bank cancelling a sale to do a loan modification on a house the client wanted to give up back to the bank. Ocwen's representative lying at mediation. What dumb things have you seen banks do? Please share your stories at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com.  Also remember to visit our sponsor, Elliott Wealth Management Services for your free 15-minute life insurance checkup at www.ElliottWealth.com.  

Unsure what to say about this week's episode.  I fired up the mic after a particularly troublesome "mediation" I had with Ocwen.  I put "mediation" in quotes because the bank was clearly not mediating in good faith - and they rarely do. In a typical mediation, one party starts with one perception of the case, and the other party starts with a competing perception of the case.  The role of the mediator is to assist both parties in some middle-ground compromise unless, of course, we're talking about a loan modification mediation - in which case the bank pays lip service and asks the homeowner to provide multiple copies of the same documents.  The bank representative then ignores those copies, asks the homeowner to send in yet another copy of the same documents, ignores those documents and then tells everyone at mediation that the bank is missing documents! In all of my years assisting homeowners in foreclosure, I've walked away from the mediation with a signed loan modification ONCE and that was with a credit union.  The purpose of that stat is not to discredit myself or my abilities, but more to point out that the banks never mediate in good faith to try for a resolution.  In fact, at one mediation, I had a bank's attorney admit, "the only reason for mediation is to see if the homeowner provided all of the necessary documents." Luckily, many less people are in danger of foreclosure now than when mortgage foreclosure mediations were created as a specific type of mediation.  Hopefully, this is process that will end its uselessness soon, so we can proceed to have good faith discussions on how to resolve mortgage foreclosures. If you're trying to modify your home mortgage, you could get more relief by hitting yourself over the head with a hammer.  Before you do that please contact me at Shawn@YesnerLaw.com or www.YesnerLaw.com. 

Do you have an Ocwen Loan?  If so you are going to want to listen to this episode.  Investigator Bill Paatalo has some interesting information regarding Ocwen and its relationship to “Security Connections- Idaho”.  He will also discuss his most recent “Cease & Desist” from the SEC to the Wilmington/Christiana trust.  As for SEC Cease & Desists, if the Trustees can't identify the certificate holders, how can borrowers join forces to combat these same issues? Paatalo will address the conflict between servicers who try to create the illusion of transferring the note to a trust years after the trust closes.  In most cases the certificate holders in the trust have no idea a servicer is attempting to transfer defective loans into the trusts.  This action alone would create all sorts of IRS pass-through tax issues for the trusts not to mention issues for the Trustee who is in breach of its duties.  If the note is assigned years after the trust closed, the assignment should be considered void.  Most certificate holders have no desire to acquire non-performing loans years after the closing date and are not aware of ongoing litigation between consumer and servicer.  A homeowner may want to consider involving the certificate holders if a note was assigned to a trust outside of the closing date.

Donald Trump has spent decades building his real estate and business empire, but is the real estate titan-turned-presidential candidate telling the truth about a very nasty lawsuit that challenges the foundation of his business and real estate experience? Today, we’ll dig into the truth about Trump, the lawsuits against him that could sink his candidacy, and the cold facts about real estate education in America. I’m Carole Ellis. This is Episode 41.Love him or hate him, Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be disappearing, as so many on both sides of the aisle would like him to, any time soon. Another thing with Trump’s name on it that also isn’t going anywhere anytime soon is a HUGE (as the man himself would say) lawsuit against Trump University and the billionaire personally, launched on behalf of students who say that Trump’s educational institution promised them success, a FAST TRACK to it in fact, then couldn’t deliver. Ever-voracious New York state attorney general Eric Schneiderman (he’s known mainly for his billions of dollars snagged for the state and allegedly the homeowners of his state, from big banks who screwed up foreclosures during the housing crisis. Where that many actually goes is another big, BIG story), anyway, Eric Schneiderman is leading the pack as might be expected, and going for the throat, alleging that Trump and his university bilked students out of a collective $40 million.This is a pretty dicey situation for Trump who could end up in court dealing with the lawsuit smack dab in the middle of the presidential election. He’s insisted (and it’s probably true, given his financial wherewithal) that he could settle at any time, but refuses to do so because he didn’t do anything wrong and, furthermore, that people who settle lawsuits just get sued again (ask Eric Schneiderman and, oh Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Ocwen, all the banks you love to hate, whether or not that’s true and you better believe they’ll back it up!) Anyway, since Trump won’t settle, the issue won’t go away, and plenty of people on both sides of the issue are weighing in. For example, one former instructor who is an adjunct professor at a certain Ivy League college who used to teach for Trump University recently came out to say how proud he was of the trainings that he participated in recording for the institution. He then quickly back-tracked, however, noting that if he’d realize, and I quote, “They were going to change course to these…’get rich quick’ seminars, I never would have gotten involved.”And there, ladies and gentlemen, is the kicker when it comes to real estate education. As smart, motivated real estate investors, we want education in our sector, but our educational system is designed to SNEER at any type of education that offers fast results. We’re programmed from a very young age by our own academic elite to automatically discount the idea that we could, with the proper knowledge, not work 40 hours a week, not go into an office unless that is what we CHOOSE for ourselves, and TURN PROFITS LITERALLY OVERNIGHT in some cases. Ever heard of wholesaling? Get-rich-quick is the entire premise for that, and we know plenty of people (not educators, I’m talking in the trenches investors) making it work.So does that mean that Trump is innocent? Who knows. A lot of large-scale educational real estate systems get out of control. People, you know real estate has the potential to change your life, and so does a large portion of the rest of the population. When something is successful and grows too quickly, bad things can happen. I don’t know: maybe that’s what happened with Trump University. Maybe people did fall through the cracks. Maybe their sales tactics weren’t perfect or wholly ethical or, MAYBE, a lot of litigious people got together, saw a guy will a billion-dollar-bullseye on his back and political aspirations, and realized that if he was ever going to settle a lawsuit, now was the time.For us, though, as “real real estate investors” as a good friend of mine likes to say, what Trump did or didn’t do isn’t the point. The point is our ability to select good education that fits OUR needs professionally, but also personally. Think about it: you can have access to the best system in the world, but if it requires 25 hours of work a week to set up and you already work three jobs, then the odds of your ever accessing that system are slim. You need something faster and simpler, maybe only an hour or two a day, and fast, because by the time you add that in, you’re going to be running on fumes. A lot of educators these days provide automated software so that once you’ve set something up once, it repeats on its own, exactly for that reason. So when you invest in your education, invest in something that fits, realistically, with your dedication and your schedule. Because nothing will make you rich if you do, well, nothing.Another thing that you must do when evaluating educational opportunities is recognize that investments require some form of capital, whether in the form of time, money, or effort. I personally know a girl who recently bought her first house straight from having no home at all using only the free, educational resources at her local REIA. However, let me tell you, she put in a lot of TIME and EFFORT-BASED capital in order to make that happen. It wasn’t easy, and she even told me she’d probably rather pay for the education she had to scrape together for free if she had to do it again and had the funds available. So evaluate the cost-benefit of any system, free or with a price tag, and determine whether it fits your needs. Sometimes, getting everything in one place, including the tools you need to do the deals you want, is worth putting a bit of money into the system. In some cases, basic training may also come with access to a proven buyer for a certain type of deal, and that form of investment – IF THE BUYER IS PROVEN – can be invaluable. For a list of these types of offers, check out our exclusive report on GOLD STAR BUYERS in the REI Today Vault by going to http://www.rei.today/vault or texting REITODAY no spaces no periods to 33444. So…to the heart of the matter for Trump and for every REI Today listener out there: How do we PROVE the individual doing the selling? Well, obviously, you can google him or her, but take the results with a grain of salt. Remember, whether you love or hate Trump, you can find plenty of fodder to support your position. In the same way, most educators and investors who are willing to put themselves out there and teach others will have some positive and some negative, though overwhelming positive is generally a good thing, and vice versa. You can also vet your source of information (for example, and yes this is a shameless plug) you’ll notice that REI Today only endorses people who come on the show in some form or fashion, have plenty of proven, RECENT success stories and case studies, and have a system that we’ve evaluated that WORKS when the appropriate amounts of time and effort capital are put into it. So hey, I’d say we’re a pretty good source of information, and I work hard every day to hopefully enable you to feel that confidence too.As far as Trump University goes, well, we weren’t around when they were, so I can’t say whether or not we would have promoted them. I will say that it’s not hard to find success stories that came out of the program, such as a former Seattle resident who credits Trump’s program for providing him with the courage and financial ability to move the St. Lucia and open a restaurant. But you can also find plenty of negative stories from people who say they were pressured to buy or didn’t get to meet Trump or his adult children when promotional materials promised this.Here’s the takeaway for today, though, folks. You know that your best investment is your own education, and we repeat that every single day because it’s just about the most important axiom for any investor, real estate or otherwise, to hear! But the addition to that is this: your education has to meet YOUR NEEDS. Trump clearly failed to meet a lot of people’s needs, and the issue in question is whether that’s his fault, theirs, or everyone involved.Trump’s a controversial guy, and I expect that this episode stirred up some controversy of its own for you.
