Sean Patrick Flanagan of Flanagan Properties, Inc.
"Lucky Buys Yucky Houses"
Altamonte Springs, Florida
First, he never told us he was the owner of "yuckyhouses.com" until we saw him on an infomercial one day and it dawned on us why the condo he rented to us was so DISGUSTING! I have to steam clean the carpets myself, scrub every floor, bathtub, toilet, cabinet, wall, space between baseboard and carpet, and window to get the horrid cigarette smoke smell to go away. We have gone with AC for almost a month now, he has not responded to any email or phone call for two weeks.
Turns out, since 1990, he has been putting a down payment on houses in foreclosure in order to cancel the lien, writes a contract with the owner stating his intentions, then has the deed signed over to him. Then he gets a tenant to rent the property, collects payments, and never pays for the mortgage. The house will still foreclose costing the original owner and the tenant much financial hardship. He changes his name to a new alias following the foreclosure, his residence, and the office phone number. You are never given, or able to find, a physical address for the office. It is nearly impossible to track him through public records. I did find him through radaris.com. You have to pay to see the full report, however type Sean Flanagan as the search and an entire page of his separate identies, aliases, and cities he has resided in are listed there.
He is a con artist who has been getting away with mortgage fraud since 1990. I have no idea why no one has reported him before, but I have reported him to every federal, state, county, and city government agency possible. If there are any other places I can file a complaint I will not hesitate. He needs to be caught and I wanted to inform everyone of this before you get caught up in the disaster we are in.
