   When researching the DRE records it shows most agents became so during the ‘04/’05 period.
   Two agents: Robert Villegas and Geraldine Nunez were employed by Hilton Stanley Capital (Inc. in 8/06)with Nevada Jurisdiction. The Officer is Broker Mario Burnias (Related to Eddie Burnias when researched in public records). DBA’s are Golden Image Group, Realty Executives Golden Image, and Realty Executives Golden Image Group).
   Mario is also an officer in the following Corps: Apprentice Enterprise, Inc.(10/06)on 2365 Quimby Rd(DBA’s: California Properties GMAC and SuCasa GMAC). Mariposa Mortgage, Inc. (2/03), on 2365 Quimby Rd, along with officers Jose Luis Calleja from Chula Vista and Bic D. Pho (whos is officer in 5 other corps). The DBA’s are Mariposa Mortgage, Mariposa Mortgage of Almaden and Mariposa Mortgage West.
   Agent Rushwan Jones employing Broker is Leeza Popal of San Ramon (9/04) Officer of Global Quest Real Estate and Financial, Inc. (1/07) DBA: Global Quest financial Real Estate.
   Minerva Sanchez is employed by Novia Realty and Financcial (12/04), Officer Tony Dinh (DRE ‘06 H-9671, H-9672) DBA’s: Century 21 A-1 Network,City Financial Network, Century 21 Countrywide, City Home Loans, Countrywide Home Loans. Dinh is also officer in these Corps:Century 21 Countrywide, Inc. and City Home Loans, Inc.
   Agent Mark Dwelle DRE violation ‘07 H-10082SF (so much for his “clean record”) works for Valence Corp. San Jose,DBA’s: Encore Real Estate, Hipotecas Tres Estrelias, Intero Real Estate Services and Valence Lending. Officers in this Corp are Joel P. Valencia and Molly G. Diaz (DRE Violation ‘07 H-10045SF same time as Dwelle). Diaz also has numerous liens from the city of San Jose according to public records.
   Peter Sanchez works for APR Real Estate Services.
   Milton Mc Laurin works for Global Group Realty, Inc. (3/06), officer Orlando Cortez, DBA’s: Global Group Funding and Marimac.
   The pattern here is that all these realties have their own “funding” mortgages, conflict of interest?

   Yoka,

   That is some very interesting and extensive research you did on these former Su Casa agents.

3. Mark Dwelle on August 13th, 2008 1:01 pm

   Yoka,

   Wrong!!! I said in my quote That I have never had a customer compliant. This is response to the blog that grouped me with other Su Casa agents that had major complaints from their customer community. The H-10082SF
   Was put their by DRE (not due to a complaint by consumers) for the results of my inexperience on transactions with a single client and trusting mentors and the in house loan company (obviously a mistake). I’ve never done loans and never plan to. So your erroneous and totally bias comment (so much for his “clean record”) that has undertones of somebody who needs to gather all the facts before judging, or stating silly comments PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR COMMENTS.
   It blows me away that people read and hear what they want instead of actually reading whats there, but even more than that people shouldn’t be a judge jury or God when dealing with peoples Lively hood! People & Clients that know me know I’m a great agent and person. I was at the company that did these wrong things for less than 6 months i was just entering in the business full time and at the time seemed like a up and coming minority owned company CENTURY 21 BIG NAME! My deal that has put my name in this blog and the newspaper was nothing like the others I’m being grouped with. My
   clients came to me and due to my inexperience and wrong advice through wrong loan company have gotten into this situation. I did not go out to find straw buyers or anybody to buy properties just so that I could reap a commission. My clients were trying to become investors in a hot market! I’ve talked candidly and honestly with DRE about my deal! hopefully this will give you a glimpse of
   Me and this situation.

   So, are you now with a Brokerage that does not do loans? Did you drink the Kool-Aid and go with a Brokerage that does training, although by their website, I see the last training was in March?!?!
   I looked, because I get their constant SPAM and they are not incompliance with antispamming laws!!!! Were there any lessons learned? Does the Main franchisor have a mortgage arm.
   One would think one would ask those questions, wouldn’t you?

5. Tim Lee on August 22nd, 2008 9:50 am

   So, any update on the 16 that were arrested? How about Bic Pho the broker who claims to be so innocent in all of these allegations covering a lot of the realtors that worked in his debunked company (Su Casa)?

6. Ney on August 22nd, 2008 11:38 am

   Tim,
   They were not arrested. The agents (most of them) are still working but UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE because investigations take time.

   The agents that have been arrested are few. One of them being “Gloria Alvarez” but that is a whole different story on its own. She fled to Mexico with her alleged husband “Felipe Neri.” Felipe Neri allegedly is still in Mexico.

7. Yoka on August 26th, 2008 8:57 pm

   Mark,

   Unbelievable to read your response to my reciting of recorded facts and consequently the many ignorant statements you made. To imply that you “have never had a customer compliant”, but rather it “Was put their by DRE for the results of my inexperience” cannot be an excuse, don’t make a mockery of this extremely serious situation. The DRE does not do this lightly, inexperience is not an excuse for a realtor who should be EDUCATED and held accountable in such a grievous action. For you to make the statement “but even more than that people shouldn’t be a judge jury or God when dealing with peoples Lively hood!”. Yes they should, especially because you are dealing with people’s life savings and more than likely their largest financial investment. You do not “have a clean record”, to be held accountable by the DRE is most grevious and must be on your record. EVERYONE needs to know this, that is why it is PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE, to protect the innocent. Here are the facts…..you have a disciplinary action against you from the DRE, it does not get any worse than that for a licensed agent, who should investigate whom he chooses to work for and is ultimately responsible for his own actions.
   It is truly unbelievable that you can make a statement such as “due to my inexperience and wrong advice through wrong loan company have gotten into this situation”. (I’m quoting you, which explains the improper English.) “I was at the company that did these wrong things for less than 6 months”. Your excuse is totally unacceptable, imagine if other professional services are allowed to use this when dealing with clients or services, unimaginable!
   You are currently working for Valence Corporation. A quick check at the DRE shows the following:

   Valence Corporation
   225 W SANTA CLARA ST STE 1175
   SAN JOSE, CA 95113
   DESIGNATED OFFICER

   Valencia, Joel

   The other officer in this Corporation also has DRE actions against her, once again did you look for a real estate group which has dubious records on purpose? Or did you once again not do your homework and are you truly incapable of being an educated realtor both in your choices in employer and how you ultimately conduct business?

   As Yoka stated there is no excuse for a Realtor not to be educated. A real estate transaction involves one of the biggest financial decisions anyone will ever make and it should not be taken lightly. Not being prepared, trained or educated before handling someone’s financial situation IS NOT AN EXCUSE.

   Any real estate licensee that wants to work for a real estate brokerage should always research not only how successful the brokerage is and the type of training that they offer but also what type of complaints (if any) there are against its designated officers/brokers of record, etc.

   But perhaps more importantly, EVERYONE looking to buy, sell or refinance should also research if there had been any complaints or any administrative actions taken by the DRE against a real estate agent or broker before you do anything else.

   All of this is public information which can be obtained by visiting the “Multiple Department License Lookup” (California only). Here you can do a combined search since real estate agents, financial institutions; appraisers, etc are licensed by different departments. The information will be gathered from the Department of Corporations, Department of Financial Institutions, Department of Real Estate and the Office of Real Estate Appraisers.

   If the agent’s license record shows a DRE administrative action shown with an “H” number (eg: Mark Dwelle has “H-10082 SF”), the public may obtain the information about it by calling the Sacramento Office at (916) 227-0906.

   If the DRE administrative action shows an “R” number, information may be obtained through the Sacramento Recovery Fund Unit at (916) 227-3947.

   Be sure to have the ‘H/R’ number and license identification number for faster service when making an inquiry.

   Predatory lending has become an incredible problem among the Vietnamse community, due to their penchant towards gambling many Vietnamese realtors have become “loan sharks”. There is also a fear of reporting to the police, some do to threats, not trusting Law Enforcement and of course the languagre barrier. Here is an article run by the San Jose Mercury news on one such realtor/broker Ann Ngoc Do who was an officer in the Alain Vu corporation, DBA Avic Homes. They stole millions, San jose Broker Alain Vu was indicted and found guilty of mail fraud in Nevada.

   RISMEDIA, June 3 (KRT) - The career of Ann Ngoc Do, a real estate broker in San Jose, illustrates many of the weaknesses in California’s policing of real estate agents, from the piecemeal ways her activities came to the attention of authorities, to the limited scope of the state’s eventual investigation and disciplining of her.

   Do and an associate were the subject of repeated complaints. But every time except one, state and local authorities turned away the complaints or failed to act on them.

   When Do was finally disciplined, her main penalty was a temporary restriction on her license that state officials concede has little practical effect.

   “If I were them, I would keep doing it, because the payoff is so much more than the punishment,” said Giselle Tran, a San Jose woman who reported Do and a colleague to the state Department of Real Estate without getting action.

   Experts say the great majority of California’s 375,000 licensed agents and brokers adhere to the Department of Real Estate’s standard of conduct: “utmost honesty, fair dealing and good faith.” But as Do’s case shows, when an agent or broker is accused of misconduct, the police aren’t trained to deal with complicated issues such as mortgage fraud, district attorneys have limited resources for the time-consuming cases, and the Department of Real Estate has too few investigators and limited powers.

   Ann Ngoc Do was born in Vietnam in 1962 and came to the United States with her family in 1975. She became a real estate agent in 1991 and passed her broker’s test in 1999. The new license allowed her to supervise other agents, to keep people’s money in trust and to sell mortgages.

   The Department of Real Estate conducts background checks on brokers, but they don’t include bankruptcy records, and so the department didn’t know that Do had filed for bankruptcy four times in 1998 and 1999.

   The department also didn’t know about a San Mateo County computer engineer named William Wong. He was desperately trying to get back $280,000 Do had persuaded him to give her to invest in a real estate development and a banking scheme.

   The money was gone and Wong couldn’t find Do or the two men — another broker and the owner of a real estate company — to whom Do had sent his money.

   Unsophisticated in finance, Wong says he had been impressed by Do’s broker’s license. “You assume the state is doing its policing job.” Few police officers, however, are trained to deal with white-collar crimes. When Wong went to his local department to file a complaint, the desk officer turned him away, telling him to hire a lawyer.

   Without money for a lawyer, Wong says, he then looked at the Department of Real Estate’s Web site to file a complaint, but couldn’t find an appropriate category. He gave up.

   “This has been a nightmare,” said Wong, who lost three properties because of his debts. “All my dreams are gone.” In an interview, Do said she did nothing wrong in investing Wong’s money. “In my heart I try to do good things,” Do said, “and somehow it didn’t come out right.” Wong couldn’t find her, she said, only because she changed her cell phone provider and she is hard to reach except by cell phone.

   Of the two men who received Wong’s money, one, Do’s employer, later pleaded guilty in an investment fraud in Nevada. {Alain Vu-Avic Homes}The second was convicted of defrauding two victims, including a man dying of cancer, of $11 million. He had used other people’s money to ensnare his marks.

   Another complaint The next person to complain about Do went to the Department of Real Estate, which has an enforcement staff of 86 to oversee 375,000 licensees.

   In May 2000, Giselle Tran wrote to the department’s Oakland office that Do had an unlicensed person processing loans. Tran said a woman named Mimi Le, working for Do, had sold her a loan filled with hidden fees and undeclared terms.

   Records show she also complained that Do seemed ignorant about mortgage loans.

   At the time, Do was the supervising broker at California Better Home and Finance on Berryessa Road in San Jose.

   Do rented a cubicle for $200 a month from Le, one of the company’s owners. And in becoming Le’s supervising broker, she said in an interview, she “lent” Le her broker’s license. State records show that Le, who is also known as Kieu Ly Truong Le, had failed the state real estate test several times.

   Le used her position as Do’s “employee” to sell mortgage loans, a job that requires a state license.

   Do said she didn’t know Le was unlicensed. But brokers are required by law to verify the license of anyone they employ and to notify the state of the hiring. Le could not be found for comment.

   The Department of Real Estate assigned an investigator but took no action because of its growing backlog of cases.

   The next complaint went to the San Jose police. Again a desk officer tried to turn it away, suggesting the complainant hire a lawyer. But Lisa Munoz, a disabled mother of three, insisted.

   In an interview, Munoz said she had little experience with real estate transactions and trusted Le because she had a license. But Le sold her a mortgage filled with hidden costs and falsified information. In the end she forged a check to obtain more money from Munoz.

   “They don’t care who you are, what your situation is in life, they just find a person to take from and they’ll do it,” Munoz said.

   Munoz reported the forgery to San Jose police March 15, 2001. She insisted that the desk officer write a report, and then got lucky: A fraud-unit detective, Eric Quan, saw it.

   Quan immediately called the Department of Real Estate and urged an investigation.

   By then Do was no longer working with Le, but Quan suggested an investigation of the loan processor, the loans and the activities of all the brokers involved. He hoped his criminal investigation would be equally expansive.

   The only result of Quan’s investigation, however, came in July 2002, when a prosecutor allowed Le to plead no contest to one misdemeanor count of forgery. In return for no jail time, she agreed to repay Munoz $7,000.

   The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office, unlike most, has a real estate fraud unit. Santa Clara is one of 13 counties, out of 58, that use a 1995 law that lets them put a $2 tax on real estate documents to pay for such units.

   Fraud cases, however, are time-consuming, and the special units are limited in how many they can take on. Deputy District Attorney Paul Colin, head of Santa Clara County’s unit, said he reached a plea bargain with Le to guarantee that Le would pay Munoz restitution.

   Munoz said she was grateful for the money, but it was only a fourth of what she lost.

   The Department of Real Estate did open an investigation of Do and Le. After 22 months, in January 2003, records show, Do admitted to some of the allegations against her and stipulated that she would not contest others.

   Her broker’s license was revoked in May 2003 and replaced with a restricted license that the department can suspend if she is accused again; after two years she can obtain a full license again. She was also required to pass an ethics test.

   Eight months later, Do said, she passed the ethics test on her fourth try.

   Paula Reddish Zinnemann, the former real estate commissioner who approved the agreement, admitted that such restrictions aren’t very effective. She didn’t recall the Do agreement in enough detail to say why she approved it.

   The department also ordered Le to cease and desist from selling mortgages. If she doesn’t, all the department can do is issue another order and ask local police to investigate.

   The Mercury News discovered that the Department of Real Estate and the police received two more complaints about Do and Le before the plea deals were made. Neither was acted on.

   In February 2002, Quendolyn Mejia of San Jose reported to the police that she lost $100,000 in a complex deal with Le in which Le encouraged her to sign over property she inherited from her mother.

   The report was filed away and she later sued Le and others.

   Deeply in debt, Mejia lost her hair salon in San Jose and moved to Mississippi to live with a relative.

   In October 2002, a broker in Vacaville phoned the Department of Real Estate to report that Do had tried to take advantage of a woman who owed money to one of the broker’s clients.

   The broker, Xuyen English, says she reported that Do visited the woman in jail, where she was awaiting trial for extortion, and Do offered to pay for a lawyer for her and persuaded her to sign a power of attorney.

   According to the woman, English said, Do then tried to sell the woman’s house to an associate at a discount.

   English said she was told the department couldn’t do anything unless she proved her allegations in a lawsuit.

   “That’s not the type of response we should give,” the department’s enforcement chief, Bill Moran, said. He said the department wouldn’t keep a record of a call that wasn’t acted on.

   In an interview, Do acknowledged getting the power of attorney and paying for the woman’s lawyer, but said the woman wasn’t under duress.

   She also admitted trying to sell the woman’s house, but denied that the buyer was an associate. The escrow company, however, confirmed that the buyer on the proposed sale was a supervising broker at Do’s company.

   Caught in a maze One thing that stands out in the complaints against Do is the variety of jurisdictions in which they were made. The Mercury News pieced the story together from information scattered among local police, the Department of Real Estate, the Justice Department, several courts and the complainants.

   Another is how often authorities turned a person away or took no action. The only person who acted aggressively and looked beyond his own agency was the San Jose detective, Eric Quan, who is trained in fighting fraud.

   A very busy detective in the San Jose fraud unit, Barry Barner, found Mejia’s complaint buried with others. He told the Mercury News it would be reopened and examined.

   Do now rents a cubicle at Happy Homes Realty, in a strip mall on Quimby Road in San Jose. Office mates say they rarely see her. She says she is not doing much real estate work.

   Do tried to explain “why I find myself always in trouble.” “Most of the choices we made were wrong,” she said. “At first I was thinking that everybody had a goodness in them, everybody. Now I learned that not everybody has the good heart.

   “It is easy to be bad.”

    There is a reason why it is difficult for a layperson to investigate his realtor, (they seem to stick together, along with questionable brokers who make it difficult to get at the truth with “chucking and jiving” of information with the DRE.) After doing a little initial investigation on Agents: Gill and Villegas, it shows the following:

    In a recent article:
    Golden Image seeks clients for life
    (It shows Mario Burnias is at it again with several DRE sanctioned agents Gill and Villegas.) The article states:

    “Mario Burnias like to think big. He has converted a warehouse space into offices to house Realty Executives Golden Image Group and its affiliates for what he sees as a large one-stop shop for homeowners”.
    “We want to emphasize the client’s needs and serve them over a lifetime,” he says. “Our group can help with finding a home, selling a home, financing the deal, insuring the property and maintaining good credit.”

    A picture in the article shows several of the agents,a quick research shows the following, (it could be possible that those who are not with the DRE have office jobs only):
    Pictured left to right are: Stella Inciarte/(not @ DRE) Michelle Amezcua,(Conditional licence, but works for Land/Home financial services, David Duane Waite in Concord, officer with 24 DBA’s and owner of “Land Home Financial” in Concord, Dwelle was accused of wrongdoings in Concord)
    John Wilson, Maria Marrujo, Lidia Gonzalez,(Not @ DRE, unless name is actually Angela Blanco Gonalez, who is an agent with Burnias, however, one must list their “used name at DRE) Magnolia Wilson/(Not @ DRE) Michael Perez, Elena Hernandez, Geraldine Nunez (DRE 06/02/08 - H-10082 SF), Broker and Owner Mario Burnias,
    District 8 Council Candidate Rose Herrera,
    Broker and Owner Robert Villegas /(06/02/08 - H-10082 SF NOT a Broker!!!-salesperson ONLY, it also shows Mr. Villegas to be on the public records with Burnias and also with defaults and trustee sales.)
    Lupita Alvarez, and Ruth Burnias/(Not @ DRE could be previously Ruth Mabel Mejorado/DRE 06/02/08 - H-10082 SF, due to her public records with Mario Burnias ).

    Both Mario Burnias and Mejorado show to have huge numbers of deeds in their names with consequently notices of defaults, trustee sales and foreclosures. They are also on deeds together.

    Mario Burnias’ public records show a close association with Cesar Cadeva,(DRE09/02/83 - SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY 08/26/83 - H-5341 SF), Mr. Cesar is the agent for service in Burnias’ corporation “Estate Home Loans, Inc” which is actually SUSPENDED with the Department of Corporations but is shown as “ACTIVE” with the DRE. Pho Bic was also an officer in this corporation!!!

    The following phone numbers are shown in the article as numbers to call for Burnias’ Real Estate Company
    “Land Home Financial” (925) 676-7038 (This is actually NOT A Burnias DBA, but rather a company out of Concord with Broker David Duane Waite).
    When “Googled” the following appears:

    (925) 676-7038 / 9256767038
    Got a call from 925-676-7038/9256767038? They left no message. Something “Financial”. When I asked them to repeat it, there was silence.
    800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-925-676-7038

    - We Teach Credit (Not with DRE)
    (888) 849-3426 When this number is “Googled” the following shows, (and….this is exactly the kind of company the public is being warned about!!)

    It just gets more interesting as well as frightening to see what is occurring with these agents and broker. Likewise, all public records for realtors and brokers can be viewed at the Santa Clara County Recorded Document search on line.

    Quote:
    “Century 21 is suing Su Casa and its principals, BIC PHO and DAVID MCCAIN — who operate this office on Quimby Road in San Jose — for allegedly not paying …”

    There is still NO Disciplinary action recorded against MCCAIN with the DRE, even though
    public recorded documents show numerous Abstract of Judgments, Defaults, liens, etc. MCCAIN is also very involved with CADENA, BURNIAS & VISION QUEST 21
    McCain, David/David C/David Cadag is also in the public records with SU CASA, BIC PHO, VISION QUEST, LLC (Lorna Bade), PARIS INVESTMENTS, LLC on 2365 Quimby Rd,this company is NOT registered with the DRE, the agent resigned on 6/18/07, further investigation would be needed to see who that person was.

13. Yoka on September 12th, 2008 1:01 pm

    INCREDIBLE FINDINGS!!!!

    PHO, BIC is involved with QUIMBY ENTERPRISES, LLC (LLC Not with DRE) on 2365 Quimby Rd, the agent for service resigned on 8/06.) This LLC is also deeply involved with PARIS INVESTMENTS, LLC and PARIS INVESTMENTS INC, neither are registered with the Cal Dept of Corps or the DRE. Both these corps show tons of defaults against both Vietnamese and Hispanic surnames. When looking them up in the public records start with “Paris investment” a whole list will pop up with different spellings, but their all the same Corp.

    Another suspicious LLC is GDRR PROPERTIES, LLC (not with the DRE) but also at 2365 Quimby Road!!! This LLC is registered to DANIEL T. PARIS, 3220 Stevens Creek Blvd . (Could Daniel Paris be the “origin” for PARIS INVESTMENTS?)

    Another LLC involved is CHCQT, LLC a Nevada Corp 2/08, (not with the DRE), registered to Jeffrey C. McCormick, 1177 Branham Lane. Though this LLC was already doing business with PARIS INVESTMENTS, LLC/ PHO, BIC/BIC, PHO back in 11/07 and LE, TAMMI as early as 12/06. Could TAMMI LE also be TAM LE since public records shows this name with KEVIN HOANG, MARIPOSA MORTGAGE & CENTURY 21 SU CASA RLT in a Lis Pendens action.

    Involved with PARIS INVESTMENTS is: LE, TAM THI DUY (under all combos ofthese names in public records) 01153257-LE, TAM DUY-License REVOKED 8/23/04 H8887. The DRE shows there is no “current employing broker” but he/she does list his/her mailing address at 2365 Quimby Rd!!!!, which is of course QUIMBY ENTERPIRSES, LLC and PARIS INVESTMENTS, INC & LLC, where once again we are dealing with BIC PHO and DAVID MCCAIN. In the public record TAM LE shows huge amounts of defaults!!

    Involved with SU CASA, MARIPOSA and TAM LE is agent 01340266 Houng, Kevin Kim, License RESTRICTED, 8/02-H-8190 SF 2/03 RES DENIED, 4/04 H-8746. This agent is now working for Theresa Chieng Real Estate Corporation 4/07, DBA: BLUE SKY FUNDING (golly, now there’s a good name for yah). How can this broker hire an agent with a record such as Tam’s, shame on Broker Sui Vinh Chieng!!!

    Triple Net Commercial Network is a registered Cal Corp, it was misspelled in the Ca. Business Portal list of Corporations with “commerical”, that is why it did not come up in the original search. The agent is Bang Duc Pho, who used to be a real estate agent, at 1009 E. Capitol Expwy #608.

    The other officer besides Bic Pho is Lyall Mthias Weiler, Broker #00848937 in Morgan Hill, his public records are extensive with Abstracts, Liens and defaults. Estate Home Loans Inc, is very suspicious.

    Also, Cesar Cadena should be further investigated. He is extremely involved.

    Likewise: LAND/HOME FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC A California corporation at 1355 Willow Way #250 in Concord, (this is also a Nevada Corp: Land/Home Financial Services, Inc filed in 1998 as a “Foreign Corp” with officer David Waite out of Concord). Land/Home Financial is the DBA used by Mario Burnias,(though this does not show with the DRE, only in the newspater article, but actually is a DBA that belongs to Waite). One of Burnias’ agents Michelle Amezcua is listed as an emplyee of Waite in Concord. David Duane Waite also has a total of 33 mortgage DBA’s. (33? What us going on here???)

    In a nutshell:
    Businesses registered on 2365 Quimby Road:
    1.Apprentice Enterprises, Inc.
    2.California Properties GMAC
    3.SuCasa GMAC
    4.Mariposa Mortgage

    6.Paris Investments, LLC (Daniel T.Paris)
    7.GDRR Properties, LLC
    8.Lion Venture Group, LP (Barry C. Chen)
    9.Quimby Enterprises, LLC

    Interesting? This links many brokers and agents with Bic Pho.

    This Company is in the public records as having done business with Quimby Enterprises, Paris Investments and Tam Le.
    GDRR Properties LLC associates with Daniel T.Paris and Paris Investments II.

    Public records show they are all connected and have worked together!!!

    Hilton Stansley Capital, Inc, Nev. Corp Hilton Stansley Capital, Inc, Nev. Corp was revoked in Nevada 7/1/08, Officers in Nevada are: Burnias, Mario and Aguilar, Manuel.

    Manuel Aguilar is shown, according to public records, to be involved with Fremont Investment and Loan (Cannot find with DRE or Corps), Mario Burnias, Cesar Cadena(Agent from Burnias’ “Estate Home Loans, Inc, suspended corp).

    It looks as though all suspicious corps and their officers and agents are deeply involved in the subprime loans and predatory lending. They seem to all be part of this horrible mess we are currently in and have profited from it at the cost of innocent people.

    Enrique Amezcua shows in the public records that he was involved in getting loans from BNC Mortgage and Index West, LLC, both are being sued:
