their house will be saved. In return they will either ask for the homeowner to pay their mortgage directly to them, hand through their deed and pay rent, or obtain refinancing. But instead of fulfilling the other end of the bargain they don't contact your lender or obtain refinancing for you. They keep all the money and file bankruptcy without your knowledge.

The operator promises the homeowner to pay the mortgage or given them a sum of money once the property has been sold. The operator then convinces the homeowner to sign over the deed and move out. The homeowner can stay but they have to pay rent. If they opt to move out the operator lets a third coming-out rent the property. The operator does not pay the mortgage and lets the mortgage lender foreclose. If the house has equity, the operator sells the property and pays off the debt. Then the operator keeps the equity that the homeowner could have had if they sold it.
