  • haha none of this is uncommon in reality tv. This is Fokkks picking on minorities as usual.

  • HAHA! BUSTED.

  • Guess what morons, ALL reality shows are FAKE. It's ALL acting. I work in tv production and worked on 2 reality shows. There is as much acting as any normal tv show.

  • Are you current or in foreclosure ? Would you like to know how you can get your mortgage down 20%-60%, and possibly even receive fine money for fraud perpetrated upon you and your family by the U.S. banks ?

  • @jfcrock37 You should be careful talking like that you're going to say somethin like that to the wrong person one day

  • @jfcrock37 Is Bernie Madoff white or does he just dye his skin? Its sad that ignorant fucks like you still walk the earth. Hope your daughter grows up to marry the blackest man she can find, if she hasnt already.

  • Team Trademark and Angela and Harris were the best flipping teams on the show. Sam's shows were interesting, even though they were fake.

  • It's ridiculous that some of you people would support this type of behavior if the person was of whatever race you support.

    Fuck all these scammers. I'm glad many of them are broke now and hope those that aren't yet, end up eating cat food.

  • omg people this black white, nigger honkey shit is getting very very old. there are scam artist of all races out there. regardless if this guy is black, there are tons of white scam artist out there too. its just sad that the victims are stuck with all this debt. be careful people.

  • @frostedhead I grew up around rich whites and one thing they hate the most is poor white trash honky crackers like yourself.

  • @imhotep1 Just accept that niggers are no good, the proof is right there in front of you... Happy Thanksgiving spooks

  • @frostedhead Please stop blaming me because your honky cracker no good father couldn't provide you with a good life. Happy thanksgiving!

  • @Taxminia0311 Oh shut peckerwood trailer honky trash.

  • @Taxminia0311 Why does poor white trash who are are failures honky crackers feel the need to talk? Go get your GED trailer trash.

  • I just want to buy a house to live in, but every time I call to inquire about a foreclosure listing, I'm being told that a "contract is pending". Blah, blah, blah! I called about one this afternoon and when I got home and checked the listing, it had already been pulled completely from the internet. WTF? Why are these being listed when the realtors won't even sell them? What's the scam?????????

  • History hasn't changed. Some people prey on the ignorent and get rich. Old news. The problem is.....With my tax dollars, I have to pay for the ignorent. The ignorent walk away with only bad credit and the scammers are rich sipping on lemonade and laughing at all these shmucks.\

  • @g1attie Except the bailouts that were handed out with your tax dollars weren't there to bail out the ignorant investors, they were there to bail out the banks who tried on an unprecedented scale to take advantage of them and then let the whole deal collapse when it became apparent the situation was untenable. If it were just the ignorant investors causing the problems we could've easily "let them fail" and most likely would have.

    You ended up paying for the ignorant because of the scammers.

  • @g1attie l2spell ignorant

  • @g1attie amen

  • OH MY GOSH. Does this mean Armando is lying too?!

  • @Ariegiggles Yes & No. He is playing you. He is successful himself because you can do what he does. However he is making, you, the low income earning citizen think you can do this w/ no money and no credit. When you hear that, you ask how? He replies, buy my ebooks, buy my DVDs, come to my seminars. You need good credit to get a hard money loan or know someone who can come in as a private investor. Most of you don't have these options. Armando walks away with you money, legally. You lose

  • @Ariegiggles On top of that, he is selling you information you can easily get for FREE. Not to mention he makes you think it's fucking easy. Do you know how much work is involed into rehabbing a house? Permits, legal representation, apprasials, loans, title ownership and a crap load more. Hard money lenders usually charge HIGH interest rates and you wont get the money all at once. You need to sell the house within a year of the loan or your credit will be shitted on. Don't be stupid.

  • Wish A & E would show Sam's episodes again, no matter that they're fake. Sam's episodes were more entertaining than Armando's or the other teams, with the exception of the Trademark team from season 1 (Wish they'd show their episodes again, too).

  • Good video

  • I had a similar problem. My videos show how I solved it:

    watch?v=tH5xgC8RyTk

    watch?v=6XOVIhC8YWI

    watch?v=_XxzRgFhxdo

    I am still in my home! Call me crazy! I agree - I am as crazy as a fox!

  • we already know reality TV is fake, anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.. but flipping houses CAN be a good profit, BUT, at the same time, it can backfire and pit you mega bucks in the hole. it depends how much previous experience you have working on homes, who you know, ect ect,

  • Love this guy. What an enterpreteur. Good.

  • @rannedwards why is it always about race? That has nothing to do with it! You'd be cheering if it were about a white guy.

  • fucking liar , you just stole $1300 fom me, if you have this video on youtube i will tell everybody that you are a fucking crook

  • Faux News has it in for anything black. I wouldn't believe them reporting anything, unless I was in on every aspect of the report from the beginning to the editing and airing.

  • @bigaallaann Never trust a honky especially poor white trash.

  • you have to presume A&E's legal dept. scrubbed this clown's background and knew all along they had themselves a real worthless piece of shit, but figured it would be a lot easier to roll the dice and cover his incompetent ass in fear of a potential threat of a NAACP lawsuit. The new Atlanta team is the real deal.

  • I was wondering what happened to him...and guys enough with the racist talk...get over yourselves

  • they need to uncover dean graziosi scams

  • This is old news. Why are you fake wannabe racists still on this shit trolling?

  • way to go A&E - you asses

  • @mikeyaaa this is why you people are hated all over the world.

  • @mikeyaaa Your comment is why people all over the world hate white people. Thank you for adding to it and bringing the point home.

  • @mikeyaaa This is why you don't trust poor white trash. You aren't a homeowner Mr. GED dropout.

  • its a teevee show, it obviously would have many phony parts to it. Who would be dumb enough to invest with him?

  • LOL this is Hilarious! A&E needs a new fact checking department and the audience needs to know that flipping isn't easy nor as profitable as it's made out to be.

  • I'm a real estate investor and I love the show flip this house; but I never heard of this guy. I can't believe this really happened.. SAD!

  • These episodes are no longer aired.

  • disgusting. lock the bastard up for fraud.

  • come on guys.

    this is just tnb

  • How terrible. Sad that this is going on.

  • Shit like this gives true real estate investors a bad name. Don't let a few bad apples ruin the business...

  • he's a ghetto real estate investor.

  • Hmm, he lied, cheated, and stole!

  • You mean REALITY TV doesn't equal REAL TV??? Unbelievable. Flipping houses can make for good tv though, it's so easy everyone should be doing it!

  • It's a TV show. What do you think? Of course it's fake. People are idiots.

  • This is what happens when rookies get into the real estate business....I laugh when I hear of people getting taken under the guise of making quick money...Earning money takes real work not schemes.

  • Feldman Law Center. They are a scam!

  • Feldman Law Center is a scam. Steven Craig Feldman has a very bad record. Check out his law record with the California State Bar. Also, compair his record to good laywers. His license has been suspended for reasons that demonstrate he is a deadbeat and irresponsible. You can not trust this snake!

  • I'm going to guess that all of these sleazy people are all staging their episodes. Especially the ones in California.

  • slick dude

  • Do you need a degree or special training to start flipping houses?

  • ok Sam is not the culprit here IMHO.

    I picture rich and rabid bankers in a room conjuring-up a program that will appeal to the Black community.

    A&E for going along, fully culpable I'm sure, is also to blame. IMO

    thanks for the show

  • The Bank Managers and CEO's, mortagage company's management and CEO's, Real Estate brokerages, Home Builders and crooked stock brokers should be imprisoned and their assests should be repossessed and used to pay the

  • this is sad!!

  • people like that makes the real estate market bad because of greed for money...also makes other investors look bad too

  • @thugr0meo Heh. 2 years later it looks like they were ALL greedy crooks. From the quants working on Wall Street down to the stay at home soccer moms making 6 figure incomes despite having any real tangible skills that actually create anything.

  • so what,....where was the owner when work was going on? Even if I won, I would not go on vacation. I would be right there watching shit. What the hell hapened to common sense. It's not Extreme Home Makeover for goodness sake. Common all...to complain about something for free is so stupid.

  • And assholes like him brought this economy to it's knees!

  • Yes he's a asshole but he's following suit. I don't agree what he's has done or doing. But the central bank share holders and greedy politicians are the mentors. Now society feels the only way to make money is to scam others. Bank share holders are running the government, this is why lobbyist support and place whom they want in office. Millions of dollars to support a candidate for a $200,000 job to run the country and brainwash the taxpayers.

  • nice reporting

  • figures

  • stupid incompetent ape

  • not stupid...but VERY DECEPTIVE

  • Armando Montelongo should be next.

  • I remember watching this episode a while back...

    They really know how to scam.

  • no couple bought it but the place got fixed I would say the owns made out ok...

  • Just goes to show you what is labeled as reality TV is definitely just the opposite. Why people continue to watch this brain dead level of programming is beyond me!

  • scum

  • Typical

  • Very good. We believe many MANY banks do NOT work with homeowners because it is simply NOT in their best interest. These days anytime you have a bank, you usually have an insurance company right next to it. There is a reason WHY banks take back properties and then sell them to OTHER PEOPLE for as much as 40% LESS than what was owed by the mortgage holder in trouble... when, they could have just knocked 25% off the homeowners loan and avoided taking hte house back. Go research it...

  • This is too bad, especially since Angie has a great rack!!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO.ARTHUR ROBINSON

  • We have been scammed many times, especially with internet based transactions. If this ever happens to you contact a lawyer immediately and get free legal advice from websites like The Attorneys Forum.

  • This what happens when you hire some one that is a realtor then a builder. You need a license Builder.

  • Nigerian scammer

  • This man is a con artist. He knows how to play people out of their own hard earned cash. The law is kind to people like Leccima because they make big money off of them in the end from all the tax paperwork and back loans (if any were involved). The people he scammed can try to get their money back, but in reality it's not likely to happen.

  • It's too bad the American people are so ignorant about how money works in relation to law. People are losing their homes all over the place due to simple ignorance of how the process of foreclosure is manipulated against them. I know over 15 people who saved their homes in court just by taking the time to study and learn the law...seems saving a home would be worth THAT much, right? Sad state we live in when people are willing to give up their homes just because they choose to remain ignorant.

  • well said, lawbeat.

  • Why would anyone want to do that, Mustangman58?

    I would only purchase a home if I could sell it at the market price the next day. To make some money.

  • If the owners of a foreclosure home worth $500,000 is seized by the bank because the owners default on $100,000 remaining, does that mean I only have to pay $100,000 and the $500,000 home becomes mine 100% legally?

  • No. Not unless the bank agrees to sell for $100,000. The bank owns it and the decide what to sell it for. They don't have to sell it for $100,000. They may sell it for $150K, or $200 though.

  • MOST banks off a pick-up plan. Where you take there loan. Re-start the payments from the time the previous owners left off. You don't pay any off the interest that was on the house. You pay the closing costs, realtor fees, and all other costs, and you still have a dam nice house.

  • Why would anyone want to do that, Mustangman58?

    I would only purchase a home if I could sell it at the market price the next day. To make some money.

  • If you took over someone's loan you could still turn around and sell the house the next day. It's just one way to finance the property.

    However, I wouldn't say that "most" banks give you that option... that sounds like something you would do pre-foreclosure, where all parties agree to it. After the house becomes banked owned, the previous owner and their looan is out of the picture. After foreclosure, I think typically banks want you to come up with your own financing/pay cash.

  • Banks are not allowed to make a profit off of foreclosures. Though, they are not required to sell for the amount that was defaulted on. They could sell the house you're talking about for $200,000 etc, but they would have to give any profit back to the borrower who defaulted. They would be giving that person back some of their equity that they had built up.

  • "Jumbo Shrimp" "Army Intelligence"  & "Reality TV"

  • Both teams from Atlanta are shady and unprofessional. Angela worked with Sam too, how could she not know what was going on? She had to have some clue. And I looked up to her too, not any more.

  • Should stick to flipping burgers.

  • Here is a better site.  Christian Owned Company. The owner is a straight shooter and doesn't charge the homeowner at all. Free Help.

  • Great video! Just a tip, you can learn how to flip foreclosure and pre-foreclosure at -- MyForeclosureTips( dot )com --. Make sure to you remove the spaces and parenthesis.

  • This is so sad. No wonder I am so scared to invest.

  • Buying a full priced home right now is insane. We are able to find deals that the bank will sell BEFORE they go to auction for 30 to 50% off current values. Find out more at:

  • damn, looks so easy in show and stuff...darn

  • I guess that's why his first realtor partner left him and started flipping on her own.

  • As If You Could Ever Trust FOX Either!

  • There are many like this. They talk a good game, but anybody can bs people, taking advantage of peoples emotions.

    Buyers need to educate themselves.

    Good article!

  • I have known "flips" since the '70s in NYC. This is not a new story, folks.

  • You're pure class.

  • Great local reporting, I hate to admit that any Fox affiliate could achieve this -- although I guess it could have come a year or two earlier... Still a fine news segment.

  • I can understand one episode but A & E did several Leccima flip episodes. I still love the show but i will be watching a little closer. By the way they pay the investers $3000.00 per episode. If you check craigslist as i did you will see there add, nothing wrong with paing the participants, i just wanted to through that out there.

  • Wow man, i love this show, and i thought Sam and that big contractor dude was cool man. I was inspired by his episodes man. I like how A&E are trying to distance themselves from him even though they had to be in on it. They were there to see his handywork was below standard. Were's there integrity?

  • Atlanta Ownage

  • A shady real estate guy? NO WAY!!?!??!??! XD

  • A&E and every other network are so desperate to put the "color" in successful people that they go out of there way to find minorities to film. Any fool can see this guy was totally clueless. Next time you're in front of your T.V. notice how over represented Minorities, gays and interracial couples are. It's all about the liberals using media (and the class room) to reprogram foolish whites.

  • Michael Milken and Ken Lay- two so-called 'white' men that committed Grand fraud and embezzlement and stole thousands and in some cases millions from innocent , hard working Americans. History has proven that so-called 'whites' are the biggest thieves of all.

  • That's what you get when dealing with a sneaky knee-grow. A&E should also be held liable.

  • It's not about color or race, it's more about a lack of character ignorant Jack-Ass. I've seen plenty several news stories involving criminal activities, especially financial fraud implicating 'WHITE' men. Does that mean all white men are crooks? No, it only prove Whites have their share of crooks.

  • Yes, JP3466, because white ppl NEVER EVER rip off anyone.

  • True the guy is a disgrace but to assume that only blacks are thieves is dumb. What about America's own white Knight; Bernard Madoff? Your shitty logic makes no sense!

  • Imagine going to the bank and asking, "I'd like to open an account for minus (-)$100K". After years of deposits adding up to $100K you will have $0 in the account. Silly isn't it? Well that is exactly what you will be doing if you bought a house right now. Maybe a little more, or a little less, but either way doesn't sound too good does it? DONT BUY REAL ESTATE BE SMART

  • Of course Fox will be accused of racism.

  • Why?

  • Who's naive enough to actually expect reality from "reality" tv?

  • you fucking niggers

  • Scammers come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Just ask the President.

  • Wonder what Timberman has to say about all those white folks ripping him off daily. Fucking honkies? Damn whities? The destruction white people do on a daily basis is NOTHING compared to what any one else does in the U.S. So fuck you, timberman and your racism. All kinds of ppl are scammers. It's not a race thing. Asshole.

  • Damn scammers

  • More suckers and scammers...

    People need to be less gullible.

    Trust No One with your money!

  • typical fuckin nigger

  • Enron, Michael Milken, Jim Jones, Jim Baker, Son of Sam, Jeff Dahlmer, ... typical? Being scum is an equal opportunity characteristic. What they have reported about this silly TV show is nothing compared to vast amouts of 'real' money that we all are being scammed out of every day ... legally! Do some research on what your tax dollars are being spent on ... like billions of money going to farmers NOT to farm! even when they dont qualify for the money! ... typical?

  • Dont forget that Madoff arse! I hate that guy, he's pure evil scamming little old ladies out of their retirement money!!!!

  • He also stole from the rich and powerful. Hmm he is at the end of life so he didn't care.

  • say it like it is brother!

  • I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy was so cheap ...Their decorating style was ugly ...I remember on one show they were about to have a open house and the floor broke when one of the renovation men stepped on it...They fixed it by adding one piece of wood to the floor , who knows if the rest of the floor was good and went on with the open house. That showed me right there that they would see houses half done...I just knew he was not a real flipper

  • This show is great but it's sad to see this happened. I think they give many the false impression that flipping homes is an easy task.

  • I hate the way they calulate profits on real sales.They use sold - brought to get profit.Never icluded taxes comissions transaction fees etc.

  • I can not believe that in 2007 we still have people making racial comments. It just puts me in dismay that I am a teacher, and you ignorant people could be teaching your kids (the children of tomorrow) these inappropriate morals and ethics. When will we learn that people, no matter the color, make their own choices.

  • oh yeah fat, incompetent negro with getto manners. that's the man I want to do business with. fucking american media have no limits of decency. anything to get the ratings.

  • IDIOTS, what does it have to do with race? There are crooks all over!!!

  • Where are the justice brothers? You know "Rev" Al Sharpston and "Rev" "Shakedown" Jesse Jackson. Oh they do not go after their own brothers.. You see they only after white folk.. You know like the Duke boys... or Wall Street white folk.. Who ever they can get a "change" from.

  • shut yo stupid ass up he is just a real hustler

  • Affirmative Action Real Estate...

    Quick! Somebody call the Justice Brothers (Jesse Jerkson and Al NotSoSharpton)

  • I think the mexican house flippers the montelongos prolly do the same thing! This leccima dude sucks anyway!

  • lol but flip this house is still on TV???

  • It's not a Black or White race issue. it's about ethics and scammers taking shortcuts. This guy conned the house owners and A&E to make a TV reality(YEA RIGHT) based show. He's very indicative of what happpens when low class urbanites start trying to get ahead at each others expense.

  • Really! What world are you living in? If its such a travisty where is Jesse and crew marching on in the streets demanding justice? No you see everyone has got the Lex or Benz so they can looked blessed!

  • stupid idiot hope he goes to jail the fatso lazy crook his shows were stupid and atl sux anyways chicago rules

  • Aaaahhhhh.... dem wunnerfull negro ontrapinnures.

  • darnarious, Your impotent attempts at deploying wit will carry more leverage once you learn how to spell. Just an observation.

  • Anything to get ratings for the show...

  • If you ever trust a negro, you deserve to lose your money, you may even lose your life. Only the jew surpasses the criminality of this failed race.

    NO war for Israel!

  • Of course every white person on the planet is indeed honorable and trustworthy. Thank you for your timely, well thought insight. You embarass yourself.

  • ok

  • Wow, can you believe if everyone judged an entire race based on the bad apples? I guess you never heard of Hitler. Or maybe he is your idol and you are a piece of crap just like him.

  • Yeah, just ask all the Native Americans in the western hemispheire about the the integrity of w
