Realty Check

I received a phone call from my sister at work regarding this story that aired. I was so excited that there might be hope after my family put up our home that was paid off to purchase 6 other homes to help people with addiction. When the interest rates went up,it doubled the payments on all the houses and the banks would not work with us to keep any of them, including my mom's house of 50 years. We have since re-located all tenants and have donated all appliances and furniture to community centers all around Las Vegas to needy families. My family of 3 adult weman and 3 children are now separated, living with different friends because all 6 of us couldn't go to one place. Our act of kindness for others cost us everything we had and the college funds for our own children's futures.If there is any information you could give me Mr. Odell on how I can get a home for my family so we can be together again, I would be forever grateful. Thank You Sir for your time and your kind heart.

To the previous poster..Mr Barnes is buying them cheap and then passing the benefits of his hard work onto others, which is more than I can say about alot of investors out there. He even gives people a year with no payments to fix up their home on some of them. He doesn't HAVE to sell them cheap and he's taking huge risk with people with low credit scores. Yes, he does have to make a profit because it is a business and it's what he does for a living. I don't know him and this is the first time I've heard of him but I'm thinking it's not all about the money for him. He's even sharing his secrets about how he does it. Most people in the business keeps it to themselves. Sorry everyone, I just had to vent regarding that last posting. Mr. Barnes would you please contact me. I posted about my parents who I would like to move closer to me because my Father has Parkinson's disease and my Mother is struggling to care for him. They are willing to move if I can find something for them. My number is 618-288-7790. Thank you in advance. Sheila

Hi,

I see and hear about so many people loosing the home they live in. Every time I read about someone or a family that is in this situation, I wish with everything I am that I could do something to help... and yet help myself I cannot even do for I am one of the many disabled veterans who has just found himself with no place to live and no where to go. For a few days, my youngest daughter is helping me but what then? On VA disability I might be able to again find a small one room place to live but my hopes of every owning a home of my own are gone... and so far even finding a one room place to live has not happened...

Even so, I hope many of you here find that which you are looking for and I hope people like Mr. Barnes are out there to help you all in your time of greatest need... Just never forget to someday, if someone helps you, pay it forward.

Lord, I hadnt thought of even trying to find this good mans phone number, just a business number..... No one should impose on others privacy, however, there are many homeless people, and many many people such as myself whom lives in apartments far beyond their sur real prices.
I too, would love to find a home that I can afford.HUD and Fannie are just so far above my head, even with the good pay I recieve... just such a wonderful man to do so much for people, I look forward to seeing his blog, and wish him luck, and a very long blessed life. Now for the people who are hopeing and praying this man can somehow help.....dont put all your hearts and souls in a man who can not possibaly save us all, he is a good man, with a great heart....but, he is just ONE man.

With the economy the way it's been, most people are having a difficult time. My husband and I are at the age to retire and wanted a home paid for by now. We are far from it. The cost of living has more than tripled and minimum wage is not much more than it was twenty years ago. If I had to start over, and it could happen. I could not make it without working 4 jobs. A person would need to clear $20 an hour to make ends meet where I live and that is with no extras, yet most people make $6-$7 an hour. I just can not understand how this can possibly be happening. How can a lender sell a foreclosed home cheap and put people out in the streets? Why in the world would they not offer the same price to the people that owned it? Insane! What is wrong with this picture? Greediness and people not truly wanting to help others. You have a good heart and it's good to know there are good people out there. I would be interested in a home in Greenwood, Indiana or surrounding areas south of Greenwood. If we had more people like you there would not be a problem right now. Bless you!

Mr. Barnes, what a wonderful thing you are doing helping people. You mentioned California. Homes are so expensive here. My daughter and her husband are young teachers who would love to have a home in So. California. Any suggestions?

Hello Mr. Barnes,

I'm aware of the overwhelming responses that you must be receiving after your special that was aired last evening. Unfortunately, I didn't see it. I heard it being discussed on the radio.

I must say that even as I write this, I am truly blessed! I am 2 year breast cancer survivor. I'm blessed. I know that I have used the word I a lot, but it is not just me. I am blessed, to be still be in love with with my husband of 23 years. I was out of work for two years while going through my treatments, my husband stepped up to be mommy and daddy. Once I returned to work, we found ourselves homeless as our son went away to college on an atheletic scholarship. This is due to the excessive medical bills. Still we were blessed. We didn't have a home but we weren't living on the streets. We had a hotel room to call home. Again I say, we are blessed. with three wonderful sons, one in the military, one in college (with me, I finally went back to school to earn my college degree) and one who has maintained the honor roll status for the past three years, even through our hardships. We found a place to rent but we have always dreamed of owning. Please, we welcome and suggestions on how we can achieve the American Dream of Owning a HOME.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Sad day for America to read these responses. We are a better nation than this, have Washington and Wall Street forgot about us all. Looks like will ge worse. Detroit CEO's seem like they only care about themselfs. Thank God for the Salvation Army, we may all be in the food line soon.

Dear Mr. Barnes,
It would be an answer to a prayer to
find an affordable home for my aging
parents. They have a fixed income
and have been struggling to meet all
their living expenses. They have a good
credit record. Their present mortgage
payment,along with other bills and
living expenses is just more than
they can continue to pay with a limted
income. We live in the Cincinnati.
Any help or guidance that you could
give me would be greatly aprreciated.
Sincerely,
Patti
