Posted by Joe Kaiser on August 26, 2006 at 15:55:25:
My recent conversation with a seller . . .
Seller: Well, Mr. Kaiser, I’m certainly interested in selling my house to you.
What do you need to know to get this started?
Joe: Look, Mr. Seller, if you’re the owner, you must know about all the loans
on your home and who your lenders are.
Seller: I certainly do.
Joe: Well you know I’ve never seen title or talked to your lenders. So you’ll
have to tell me their names, and then I’ll know who to contact.
Seller: Well, let’s see, we have on the house, Who’s in first, What’s in second, I
Don?t Know is in third…
Joe: That’s what I want to find out.
Seller: I say Who?s in first, What?s in second, I Don?t Know?s in third.
Joe: Are you the owner?
Seller: Yes.
Joe: And you don?t know the lenders’ names?
Seller: Well I should.
Joe: Well then who?s in first?
Seller: Yes.
Joe: I mean the lender’s name.
Seller: Who.
Joe: The guy in first.
Seller: Who.
Joe: The first mortgage holder.
Seller: Who.
Joe: The guy in…
Seller: Who is in first!
Joe: I’m asking you who?s in first.
Seller: That’s the Lender’s name.
Joe: That’s Who’s name?
Seller: Yes.
Joe: Well go ahead and tell me.
Seller: That’s it.
Joe: That’s who?
Seller: Yes. PAUSE
Joe: Look, you gotta first mortgage holder?
Seller: Certainly.
Joe: Who’s in first?
Seller: That’s right.
Joe: When you pay the first mortgage holder every month, who gets the
money?
Seller: Every dollar of it.
Joe: All I’m trying to find out is the lender’s name in first position.
Seller: Who.
Joe: The lender that gets…
Seller: That’s it.
Joe: Who gets the money…
Seller: They do, every dollar of it. Sometimes their branch manager comes
down and collects it.
Joe: Who’s branch manager?
Seller: Yes. PAUSE
Seller: What’s wrong with that?
Joe: All I wanna know is when you pay the first mortgage holder, how do they
stamp the back of your check?
Seller: Who.
Joe: The lender in first.

Joe: How do they stamp…
Seller: That’s how they stamp it.
Joe: Who?
Seller: Yes. PAUSE
Joe: All I’m trying to find out is what’s the lender?s name in first position.
Seller: No. What is in second position.
Joe: I’m not asking you who’s in second.
Seller: Who?s in first.
Joe: One loan at a time!
Seller: Well, don?t change the loans around.
Joe: I’m not changing nothing around!
Seller: Take it easy, buddy.
Joe: I’m only asking you, who’s the lender in first position?
Seller: That’s right.
Joe: OK.
Seller: Alright. PAUSE
Joe: What’s the lender’s name in first position?
Seller: No. What is in second position.
Joe: I’m not asking you who’s in second.
Seller: Who?s in first.
Joe: I don?t know.
Seller: He’s in third, we’re not talking about him.
Joe: Now how did I get in third position?
Seller: Why you mentioned their name.

third?
Seller: No. Who’s in first.
Joe: What’s in first?
Seller: What?s in second.
Joe: I don?t know.
Seller: They?re in third.
Joe: There I go, back in third again! PAUSE
Joe: Would you just stay on the lender in third position and don?t go off it.
Seller: Alright, what do you want to know?
Joe: Now who’s in third position?
Seller: Why do you insist on putting Who in third?
Joe: What am I putting in third?

Joe: All we got is a couple of days. PAUSE
Joe: You know I’m an investor, too.
Seller: So they tell me.
Joe: I get involved here to do some fancy deal making, Tomorrow’s working
with me and the first mortgage holder is getting nasty. Now he hasn?t been
paid and threatens to sue. When he files the complaint, me, being a good
investor, I’m gonna get the money to that lender in first. So I pick up the
phone, call my bank and wire the funds to who?
Seller: Now that’s the first thing you’ve said right.
Joe: I don?t even know what I’m talking about! PAUSE
Seller: That’s all you have to do.
Joe: Is to wire the funds to the first mortgage holder.
Seller: Yes!
Joe: Now who’s got it?
Seller: Naturally. PAUSE
Joe: Look, if I wire the funds to the lender in first, somebody’s gotta get it.
Now who has it?
Seller: Naturally.
Joe: Who?
Seller: Naturally.
Joe: Naturally?
Seller: Naturally.
Joe: So I wire the funds to Naturally.
Seller: No you don?t you wire the funds to Who.
Joe: Naturally.
Seller: That’s different.
Joe: That’s what I said.
Seller: You’re not saying it…
Joe: I wire the funds to Naturally.
Seller: You wire it to Who.
Joe: Naturally.
Seller: That’s it.
Joe: That’s what I said!
Seller: You ask me.
Joe: I wire the funds to who?
Seller: Naturally.
Joe: Now you ask me.
Seller: You wire the funds to Who?
Joe: Naturally.
Seller: That’s it.
Joe: Same as you! Same as YOU!!! I wire the funds to who. Whoever it is stops
the foreclosure but now the second moves to foreclose. Who picks up the
phone and calls What. What calls I Don?t Know. I Don?t Know gets in touch
with Tomorrow, bankruptcy! Another creditor steps in and files a big lawsuit
with Because. Why? I don?t know! He’s in third and I don?t give a darn!
Seller: What?
Joe: I said I don?t give a darn!
Seller: Oh, that’s our real estate agent.
Joe: (makes screaming sound)
